Anatomy promotes neutral coexistence of strains in the human skin microbiome

Anatomy promotes neutral coexistence of strains in the human skin microbiome

What enables strains of the same species to coexist in a microbiome? Here, we investigate whether host anatomy can explain strain co-residence of Cutibacterium acnes, the most abundant species on human skin. We reconstruct on-person evolution and migration using whole-genome sequencing of C. acnes c...
