PY - 2019 T2 - Fitzpatrick's Dermatology, 9e AB - Normal human skin is colonized soon after birth by a large number of bacteria that live as commensals on the epidermis and in epidermal appendages (ie, the skin microbiome). For example, coagulase-negative Staphylococci (Staphylococcus epidermidis) are inoculated during vaginal passage and coryneform bacteria take up residence on neonatal skin shortly after birth. Within weeks after birth, neonatal skin is colonized with many different species of bacteria, fungi and viruses that comprise the human skin microbiome (see Chap. 16).
