Healthy Skin vs. Bacteria

    As part of the scientific community as more you learn you start to understand the importance of every organism in earth. With studies you begin to change the perspective in every aspect and start to wonder what is the meaning of every process.  I'm pretty sure that when you hear "bacteria" the first thing that pass through your mind is disease, and infection. Usually this term is use to describe much of those aspects, but nowadays the eyes are turning into the importance that bacteria has been shown through the years. Days ago I found this interesting news about skin microbiome. It says that research suggest that the microbial fingerprint is important to well being and no only that, they found that despite cleaning the colonies of bacteria, viruses and fungi stay constant over time.  I personally found those facts very interesting because scientist says that this is helpful because it gives insight into the variation and allow to study how disease causes differences among persons. Another thing is that because there is no variation in bacterias through out time this can suggest that those bacteria are important.

   Now I'm gonna start thinking in the importance of bacteria in our skin, maybe the extremely desire of been completely clean isn't so healthy. I'm sure that scientist are going to make the efforts in trying to understand the variability among person and how this can be a good thing in the diagnosis and treatment area.
