Table 1. Evidence for and against the skin microbiome being associated with vitiligo.

Microbiome Reference Study sample Conclusion
Skin microbiome Ganju et al. [35] 10 vitiligo patients The microbial community dynamics were different in the lesional and non-lesional sites of vitiligo subjects.
Yuan et al. [36] 60 patients with vitiligo There were differences in microbial community dynamics of the lesional and non-lesional sites of vitiligo subjects.
Lu et al. [22] 20 participants with active vitiligo and 20 cases of stable vitiligo There were differences in community composition in the lesional skin of active vitiligo.
Bzioueche et al. [40] 10 vitiligo patients and 10 controls The lesional skin was enriched in Proteobacteria, Streptococcus, and Mycoplasma.
