16S rRNA sequencing of skin microbiota in mice
In this work, 16S rRNA gene sequencing was adopted to characterize the alterations of skin microbiota in Kunming mice challenged with Staphylococcus aureus cutaneous infection after treatment with ClpX antibacterial protein ointment. This work aims to explore whether ClpX can regulate skin commensal flora during bacterial skin infection, which provides fundamental data for understanding the microecological effects of ClpX antibacterial protein.
