Abstract. The skin microbiome is an essential component on our skin and is critical for the maintenance of skin health. It consists of a diverse ecosystem

The skin microbiome plays an important role in health and disease. We have recently shown that microbes living on the skin regulate the immunomodulatory properties of UVR, but the underlying mechanisms remain to be uncovered. Using a preclinical model of immunosuppression against the chemical allergen 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene, 16S microbiome sequencing, in vitro cultures, high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and the generation of gnotobiotic-like mice, we report that acute UVB radiation induces a transient and significant restructuring of bacterial communities on the skin through one of its major photoproducts, cis-urocanic acid.
