Abnormal composition of microbiota in the gut and skin of imiquimod-treated mice

Abstract Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease. Although the precise etiology of psoriasis remains unclear, gut–microbiota axis might play a role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Here we investigated whether the composition of microbiota in the intestine and skin is altered in the imi...
