Researchers at NIAID and elsewhere are conducting studies to determine whether skin disorders may be caused or worsened by an imbalance of commensal bacteria and potentially harmful microbes that influence skin immune cells. We have no specific information on commensal bacteria that stimulate collagen growth.
