Structural aspects of lesional and non-lesional skin microbiota reveal key community changes in leprosy patients from India

Abstract Although skin is the primary affected organ in Leprosy, the role of the skin microbiome in its pathogenesis is not well understood. Recent reports have shown that skin of leprosy patients (LP) harbours perturbed microbiota which grants inflammation and disease progression. Herein, we presen...
