The human skin is responsible to act as the first line as defense in protecting our body from the external environment and harmful materials such as bacteria. Archaea can be found on human tissue or epidermis, but however, their affluence is unknown and rarely studied. The number of microorganisms on the human epidermis is dependent on a variety of things. For example, the location, presence of moisture, age, sex, immune system and living conditions play an important role in the composition of the microbial communities. Only a few studies have mentioned the detection of archaea on human epidermis with archaea’s role in human skin health and disease is still a mystery (Moissl-Eichinger et al., 2017).
