A family found almost exclusively on moist sites.[8] Conversely, CIPA patients' skin harboured higher relative abundances of a panel of other typical skin-associated microorganisms, including I Cutibacterium i (12.1% vs. 4.9%), a ubiquitous family known to dominate sebum-rich sites. GLO:3NZ/01apr20:jdv16170-fig-0001.jpg PHOTO (COLOR): Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA) microbiome is dominated by four phyla and six families and is not differentiable across skin sites.

The article focuses on identification of a unique Staphylococcus aureus ribosomal signature in severe atopic dermatitis. It mentions prevalence on the skin increases with disease severity when examined using both culture-dependent and culture-independent methods. It also mentions gene encoding bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and shown that microbial diversity is inversely correlated with disease.
