Recent studies highlight that gut dysbiosis, an imbalanced state of intestinal microbiota, exacerbates skin inflammation. Here, we showed the presence of gut microbiota alterations in two patients with recalcitrant acne and investigated the impact of its therapeutic modulation together with gold nanoshell-mediated photothermal therapy (gold PTT).
Keywords: acne; antibiotics; gold PTT; gold nanoshell; gut dysbiosis; gut microbiota alteration.
