The notion of skin microbiome encompasses a heterogeneous group of microorganisms that belong to various taxonomic units, such as bacteria, archaea, viruses, and fungi. The impact of these microbial community constituents upon the epidermal barrier condition, and upon the immune system functioning, is being intensely scrutinized. There is a particular interest in studying the role that the microorganisms of genus Staphylococcus spp. play in the course of physiological and pathological processes occurring in the skin. This review examines in detail the interaction of the microorganisms of genus Staphylococcus spp. with the microbial community constituents, as well as with the skin immune system in normal condition and in the condition associated with inflammatory dermatoses. There are also the data given on S. aureus pathogenicity factors, the data on the impact of this microorganism upon the course of atopic dermatitis, and upon the course of psoriasis. The review examines the role that coagulase-negative staphylococci, S. epidermidis in particular, play in maintaining the microbiome homeostasis. The review as well examines the impact of the skin microbiome upon the development and activity of the skin immune system, and upon maintaining the integrity of the epidermal barrier.
