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).
