U090 The Gut Microbiome 101 for Dermatologists
DESCRIPTION
Open admission to eligible categories, no tuition or ticket
The human microbiome describes a collection of bacteria, fungi, and viruses living on or within the human body. There is growing evidence that perturbations in the composition and diversity of these commensal microorganisms may play important roles in a wide range of human diseases. In this session, we will summarize the current literature on the gut microbiome research, discuss the relevance of the gut microbiome in inflammatory skin diseases and cutaneous oncology, and highlight the long-term impact of dermatological therapies on the gut microbiome.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Discuss the current data on the gut microbiome research.
Discuss the role of the gut microbiome in cutaneous inflammation and cutaneous oncology.
Discuss the impact of dermatological therapies on the gut microbiome.
