Abstract: 【Abstract】 Numerous microbes colonize the surface of the skin, and the host interacts with commensal microbes depending on the immune cells and molecular networks to establish and maintain skin homeostasis. Alterations of skin microbiota under pathological conditions may be involved in the occurrence of various inflammatory skin diseases, such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis and acne. This review summarizes advances in the interaction of skin microbes and their metabolites with the host in physiological conditions and inflammatory diseases.
