Table 1. The gut microbiome in inflammatory skin diseases.

Inflammatory skin diseases Reference
Atopic dermatitis (AD)
 • Escherichia coli in the gut increases the risk of developing eczema. Penders et al.43
 • Clostridioides difficile in the gut increases the risk of all atopic outcomes. Penders et al.43
 • Bifidobacterium in the gut is decreased in AD and the decrease is correlated with severity of AD symptoms. Watanabe et al.45
 • Certain gut microbiota are enriched in AD children with food allergy. Fieten et al.46
Psoriasis
 • Clostridiales and Erysipelotrichales in the gut are necessary for induction of imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like dermatitis. Zákostelská et al.57
 • Akkermansia muciniphila is decreased in the gut of psoriasis patients. Tan et al.59
 • Bacteroides and Proteobacteria are decreased and Actinobacteria and Firmicutes are increased in the gut of psoriasis patients. Hidalgo-Cantabrana et al.60
 • Actinobacteria and Firmicutes are increased in the gut of psoriasis patients. Shapiro et al.61
 • “Psoriatic core intestinal microbiome” is associated with increased lipopolysaccharides function and bacterial translocation into peripheral blood. Shapiro et al.61
Rosacea
 • SIBO treatment with rifaximin in rosacea patients demonstrated resolution of skin symptoms. Parodi et al.67
 • Gut dysbiosis was demonstrated in a group of Korean female rosacea patients. Nam et al.69

SIBO: small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.
