Skin Staphylococcus species differentially modulate keratinocyte cytokine secretion in response to UVB.
Applied and environmental microbiology · 2026
Skin acts as the body's first line of defense against environmental insults including ultraviolet radiation (UVR) from sunlight and engages in a dynamic dialog with the resident skin microbiota, increasingly recognized for its role in shaping and educating the immune responses of the skin in both health and disease. However, how or indeed if the resident skin microbiota mediates inflammatory… Read on PubMed →
Evaluation of the Antimicrobial Potential of Malaysian Kelulut Honeydew Honey Against Acne Pathogens.
Current microbiology · 2026
Acne is the eighth most prevalent chronic skin disease globally. The increased emergence of antibiotic resistance and chemical-induced side effects make acne treatments challenging. Hence, a natural remedy, Malaysian Kelulut honeydew honey, was proposed in this research due to its beneficial properties and the absence of antibiotic resistance. An in vitro efficacy of honey was evaluated against… Read on PubMed →
Decoding the Skin Micro-Immune Milieu, Homeostasis, and Keratinocyte Trafficking in Psoriatic Disease.
Immunological investigations · 2026
INTRODUCTION: The skin, acting as a complex interface between the immune system and microbiome, maintains balance through coordinated interactions among the epidermal barrier, microbiome, and immune responses. Psoriasis, a chronic autoimmune and inflammatory disorder, disrupts this balance by altering keratinocyte growth, immune signaling, and microbial diversity. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The… Read on PubMed →
Cupuaçu (Theobroma grandiflorum) butter nanoparticles associated with oligosaccharides as cosmetic carriers for prebiotic effect: development, physicochemical characterization, and preclinical evaluation.
European journal of pharmaceutics and biopharmaceutics : official journal of Arbeitsgemeinschaft fur Pharmazeutische Verfahrenstechnik e.V · 2026
The skin microbiota is essential for cutaneous homeostasis, and prebiotics may support it. Nanostructured systems, such as cupuaçu-derived nanoparticles, enhance the delivery and stability of cosmetic active substances, but their role in modulating the skin microbiota remains unclear and requires targeted evaluation. In this study, lipid-polymeric hybrid nanoparticles based on cupuaçu (Theobroma… Read on PubMed →
Unlocking the antibacterial potential of Zanthoxylum armatum fruit: A bioactive approach to treat acne vulgaris.
Microbial pathogenesis · 2026
Dermatology has a huge challenge when treating skin infections caused by germs such Cutibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Natural bioactive substances originating from plant sources may be employed as therapeutic agents to treat certain disorders is gaining popularity. In this study, we evaluated the potential of bioactive chemicals of Zanthoxylum armatum… Read on PubMed →
Antimicrobial resistance in commensal skin bacteria among individuals without prior exposure to acne therapy.
Journal of global antimicrobial resistance · 2026
OBJECTIVE: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in skin bacteria is a salient issue in patients with acne vulgaris. This study aimed to investigate the AMR status of skin bacteria isolated from university student volunteers with no history of treating acne. METHODS: We evaluated the antimicrobial susceptibility of Staphylococcus epidermidis and Cutibacterium acnes, isolated in 2014 and 2019 from… Read on PubMed →
Chemical identification of the Viola phillipina extracts and their anti-acne activity: A comparison with isotretinoin and salicylic acid.
Fitoterapia · 2026
Since acne is a multifactorial condition, its treatment remains challenging. The multi-target efficacy of plant extracts may be a better way to treat it. In this paper, the components of Viola philippica extracts with different polarity were analyzed by HPLC, and the anti-acne activities were studied from sebum inhibition, anti-inflammatory and bacteriostasis. Results revealed that… Read on PubMed →
Anti-quorum-sensing activity of Plectranthus aliciae in multispecies Cutibacterium acnes-Staphylococcus epidermidis systems.
Phytomedicine : international journal of phytotherapy and phytopharmacology · 2026
BACKGROUND: Quorum sensing (QS) is a bacterial communication process mediated by the production, release, and detection of autoinducers, regulating gene expression linked to virulence and biofilm formation. Cutibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis exhibit opportunistic pathogenic behavior on the skin, complicating treatment strategies for inflammatory skin conditions such as acne… Read on PubMed →
