There is increasing interest in the contribution of microbes to skin disease. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Gimblet et al. (2017) demonstrate that cutaneous leishmaniasis alters the human skin microbiota. In mice, this dysbiosis is transferable to naive animals, where it augments skin inflammation and disease severity.

皮肤营养不良症“不吃香”

人们对微生物对皮肤疾病的贡献越来越感兴趣。在本期《细胞宿主与微生物》中，Gimblet等人。（2017）证明皮肤利什曼病改变了人类皮肤微生物群。在小鼠中，这种营养不良症可以转移到幼稚的动物身上，从而加剧皮肤发炎和疾病的严重程度。
