Abstract Existing models of the human skin have aided our understanding of skin health and disease. However, they currently lack a microbial component, despite microbes' demonstrated connections to various skin diseases. Here we present a robust, standardized model of the skin microbial community (SkinCom) to support complex in vitro and in vivo investigations. Our methods lead to an accurate, reproducible, and diverse community formation of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria.
