| Summary: | Psoriasis is a skin condition that occurs as a result of the interaction between predisposing genetic factors,
immunological factors and external triggers. Studies have highlighted the important role played by Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes in inducing, maintaining or exacerbating psoriasis lesions. Thus,
the study of skin microbe in patients with psoriasis is considered to be extremely important and complementary to genetic and immunological research. New advances in new generation sequencing technologies allow
for a better understanding of genetic mechanisms alteration in psoriasis. Studies performed so far show
variable results, apparently due to the associated limitations, which imply that a standardized protocol for the sampling and processing of analyzed samples is a priority measure. |
