Authors of previous studies have used traditional typing methods on cultivated isolates or have sequenced a bacterial marker gene to study the skin microbial communities of patients with AD. A shotgun metagenomic sequencing analysis provides greater resolution, elucidating multiple levels of microbial community assembly. Eleven children with moderate to severe AD and 7 healthy children were recruited to the National …
