The common reason that long term antibiotic therapy can cause new infections is that it also gets rid of the protective layer of the skin. This exposes the skin to bacteria that causes infections.
Skin infections can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites entering the skin through cuts, scratches, or other openings. Poor hygiene, weak immune system, and close contact with infected individuals can increase the risk of developing a skin infection. Additionally, certain medical conditions such as diabetes or eczema can also make individuals more susceptible to skin infections.
Complications such as bacterial infection of the open skin lesions, pneumonia, or bone infections are the major causes of death from smallpox.
Malassezia furfur is classified as a superficial fungus because it primarily colonizes the skin surface and hair follicles instead of invading deeper layers of the skin. It mainly causes superficial skin conditions like dandruff and pityriasis versicolor, which typically manifest on the skin's surface. This distinguishes it from cutaneous fungi, which can penetrate deeper skin layers and cause more invasive infections.
Various microorganisms can live below the skin surface, including bacteria such as Staphylococcus epidermidis and Propionibacterium acnes. These organisms are part of the normal skin flora and play a role in maintaining skin health. However, disruptions in the skin microbiome can lead to skin conditions such as acne or infections.

It is bacteria on the surface of something, usually our skin, eyes, nails, etc. Staphylococcus epidermidis is one example, and propionibacterium acnes is another. They are both found on our skin, normally, but are opportunistic bacteria in that given a chance, they will multiply and become infectious. Staph is one of the leading causes of hospital borne infections. P. acne is one of the leading causes of acne breakouts.
