" Really, really interestingly, we found there was approximately 100 times more of this bacteria on a dry or a dandruff scalp than there was on a healthy scalp."

They sequenced DNA from the heads of people with healthy hair and others with dry, dandruffy scalps—none of whom had used antidandruff shampoo within the last six months.

他们对头发健康的人和头皮干燥、头皮屑多的人的头部进行了 DNA 测序——这些人在过去六个月内都没有使用过去头屑洗发水。

Murphy 说，我们的目标可能是制造一种更温和的产品，而不是像当今大多数去头屑洗发水那样用抗真菌化合物来消灭头皮真菌。
