MILWAUKEE, Feb. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Early skin microbiome and metabolome signatures can be predictive of atopic dermatitis in infants aged 6 to 18 months old according to new research being presented at the 2024 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Annual Meeting.

Key Points: 
  • New research shows identifiable bacterial species in the skin microbiota of infants can lead to early detection of atopic dermatitis.
  • MILWAUKEE, Feb. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Early skin microbiome and metabolome signatures can be predictive of atopic dermatitis in infants aged 6 to 18 months old according to new research being presented at the 2024 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Annual Meeting.
  • We found that distinct skin microbiota, NMF and AMP signatures in early life predicted atopic dermatitis by 18 months of age, indicating their potential role as predictive markers in identifying infants at risk of atopic dermatitis," said primary author Elizabeth Tham, MBBS.
  • This novel predictive modeling of early life skin biomarker signatures can provide valuable insights into the diagnosis and prevention of atopic dermatitis.
