More recent studies suggested that the UVRF may be more related to sebum rather than to microorganisms. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Objective:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; To clarify whether human sebum or follicular microorganisms are the source of UVRF. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Methods:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; We examined the fluorescence of human-derived SZ95 sebocytes, human sebaceous glands, sebum extracted from the sebaceous glands, and bacteria isolated from human hair follicles under ultraviolet light. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; SZ95 sebocytes, human sebaceous glands, and sebum do not emit UVRF. Two types of UVRF peaking at about 635 nm and at about 620 nm were detected in &lt;i&gt;P. acnes&lt;\/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Staphylococcus epidermidis&lt;\/i&gt;, respectively. This is the first report that &lt;i&gt;S. epidermidis&lt;\/i&gt; emits UVRF when it is anaerobically cultured and then exposed to air. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; Human follicular UVRF is emitted by resident bacteria, not by sebum. Therefore, UVRF may be used to monitor certain species of skin microorganisms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000489396","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,3]],"date-time":"2018-07-03T21:09:15Z","timestamp":1530652155000},"page":"43-50","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Is Human Sebum the Source of Skin Follicular Ultraviolet-Induced Red Fluorescence?
