Dandruff is a prevalent chronic inflammatory skin condition of the scalp that has been associated with yeasts. However, the microbial role has not been elucidated yet, and the etiology of the disorder remains poorly understood. Using high-throughput 16S rDNA and ITS1 sequencing, we characterized cut...
