1. Relative abundances of Propionibacterium species in different skin areas determined by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of 10 individuals.
Relative abundances of Propionibacterium species in different skin areas determined by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of 10 individuals. Blue, sebaceous gland; red, dry areas; green, moist areas. +++, relative abundance of >50%; ++, relative abundance of ≥5 to ≤50%; +/−, relative abundance of <5%.
