Title:

The Intestinal and Skin Microbiome in Patients with Atopic Dermatitis and Their Influence on the Course of the Disease: A Literature Review

 

Objective:

To study changes in the composition and function in microbes in the gut contributing to atopic dermatitis (AD) or skin diseases like eczema- a literature review

 

Results: 

In 2015, the World Allergy Organization (WAO) published guidelines on the use of certain probiotic strains during pregnancy. WAO experts recommend using probiotics in pregnant and breastfeeding women whose children and infants are at high risk of developing AD after cesarean section Birth inflammatory bacteria: Staphylococcus, Streptococcus and Propionibacterium bacteria are dominant and come from the skin of the mother and/or medical personnel  These are the first to colonise the skin of newborns- leading to a higher risk of developing AD

Conclusion:

Although there are still contradictory opinions concerning the role of probiotics in the prevention and course of AD, including their place as a possible therapeutic option, the position of probiotics as an alternative treatment strategy in the upcoming “post-antibiotic” era seems to be of high interest and importance.
