Fig. 3: The adult and pre-pubescent skin microbiome profiles are distinctly different compared to the skin lipid mediator profiles.
From: Life stage impact on the human skin ecosystem: lipids and the microbial community
PCA plots based on the (A) nine lipid mediators or the (B) 370 microbial species. Red represents the pre-pubescent (GUSTO; N = 34) and blue represents the adult (HELIOS; N = 100) cohorts. Median relative abundance differences in the top 15 commonly abundant species between (C) pre-pubescent and adult subjects, and between (D) pre-menopausal (N = 25) and post-menopausal (N = 25) women. *Human papillomavirus type 134 was found only on one adult subject at high abundance.
