The US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases hosted a two-day virtual workshop on skin microbial communities and their interactions with the host immune system in health and disease. The aim of the workshop was to evaluate the current state of knowledge in the field and identify gaps, challenges, and future directions.
