Abstract

The skin microbiome is a diverse community of microorganisms living on the skin surface. Some microbiome bacteria may produce antibiofilm compounds, and thus play a role in defending against infectious bacteria. Bacteria cultures were isolated from the foreheads and retroarticular creases of 50 Malaysian females (ages 20-65) and investigated for the ability to inhibit biofilm formation in Staphylococcus epidermidis at the attachment, maturation, and dispersion stages. Results demonstrated that skin microbiome bacteria can inhibit biofilm formation, primarily by preventing attachment and dispersion. This research underscores the potential of using these antibiofilm properties as probiotics to bolster the skin’s natural defenses.
