♀	phenotype observed in females
♂	phenotype observed in males
N	normal phenotype

integument

impaired skin barrier function ( J:229771 )

• increase in transepidermal water loss indicating barrier dysfunction

dermatitis ( J:229771 )

• dry skin progresses to eczematous lesion (eczematous dermatitis)

• skin lesions show mononuclear cell infiltrates including lymphocytes and mast cells

• epidermal T cell composition is altered, with dendritic epidermal T cells, a resident Vgamma5+ gammadelta T cell subset in epidermis, replaced by massive infiltration of Vgamma5^neg gammadelta TCR^mid T cells and CD4+ T cells

• about 20% of Vgamma5^neg gammadelta TCR^mid T cells express Vgamma4, but the majority do not

• analysis of infiltrating T cells shows that epidermal CD4 T cells consist of Th17 and Th22 cells, and the majority of Vgamma5^neg gammadelta TCR^mid T cells produce interleukin-17 (gammadeltaT17) and a fraction of which also produce interleukin-22

• mice treated with the antibiotics cefazolin and enrofloxacin after weaning are almost completely protected from developing eczematous lesions, however skin inflammation develops upon antibiotic withdrawal

• mice treated with antibiotics at 10 weeks after birth show improvement in eczematous dermatitis and inflammation

abnormal skin morphology ( J:229771 )

• mice exhibit altered skin microbiota, with a striking overgrowth of S. aureus which is seen within stratum corneum and follicular openings

• skin microbiota undergoes a sequential change where dysbiosis starts with the emergence of Corynebacterium mastitidis and then S. aureus and Corynebacterium bovis predominating later

• antibiotic-treated mice exhibit a higher bacterial diversity, with a reduction in S. aureus and C. bovis, however, withdrawal of antibiotics leads to skin microbiome dysbiosis

• mice treated with antibiotics at 10 weeks after birth show reversal of skin microbiome dysbiosis

abnormal epidermal layer morphology ( J:229771 )

• antibiotic treatment normalizes epidermal gammadelta T cell constituents

• antibiotic treatment does not affect CD4+ T cell numbers in the epidermis and they remain high, however these T cells produce less IL-4 and do not produce IL-17A or IL-22
