Microbial diversity of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) lesions as assessed by high-throughput 454 sequencing. The bacterial diversity of 6 consecutive and representative HS lesions was assessed by high-throughput sequencing. Sample 1 corresponded to an acute Staphylococcus lugdunensis abscess sampled by needle aspiration. Samples 2–3 (swabs) corresponded to Hurley stage 2 lesions of the axilla and inguinal folds, respectively. Samples 4–6 (swabs) corresponded to Hurley stage 3 lesions of the ingui

Figure. Microbial diversity of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) lesions as assessed by high-throughput 454 sequencing. The bacterial diversity of 6 consecutive and representative HS lesions was assessed by high-throughput sequencing. Sample 1 corresponded to an acute Staphylococcus lugdunensis abscess sampled by needle aspiration. Samples 2–3 (swabs) corresponded to Hurley stage 2 lesions of the axilla and inguinal folds, respectively. Samples 4–6 (swabs) corresponded to Hurley stage 3 lesions of the inguinal, axilla and gluteal fold, respectively. Staphylococcus spp. represented >99% of sequences of sample 1, whereas Prevotella spp. represented the most abundant taxon in 4/5 of these chronic suppurative lesions.
