Host factors that shape the bacterial community structure on scalp hair shaft

Abstract In this study, we performed 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing analysis of scalp hair shaft from 109 volunteers, who were surveyed using a questionnaire about daily scalp hair care, and employed multiple statistical analyses to elucidate the factors that contribute to the formation of bacterial c...
