Skin Barrier Function is Critical to Health

Epidermis

Dermis

subcutis

The epidermis is a barrier that  protects from:

• dehydration • UVR  • invasion by 

pathogens• Chemical pollutants• etc

Can probiotic extracts help to repair/enhance/maintain the skin 

barrier?

Conclusions

• Lysates from probiotic bacteria increase re‐epithelialisation of model wounds

• Species dependent effects

• Mechanisms include induction of chemokine‐receptor pairs leading to increased keratinocyte proliferation and migration

Bacterial lysates have a huge capacity to alter skin cell physiology!!

Summary

•Probiotic bacteria offer great potential for use on skin

•Species dependent effects and mechanisms

•Two‐pronged approach  to identify mechanisms and efficacious molecules

•Possible applications in:Wound careBarrier related conditions e.g. AD Cosmetic preparationsAnti‐infectivesEtc.
