    The present work deals with the analysis and characterization of the most important microorganisms related to intact skin and in patients affected by atopic dermatitis (AD). During the course of this research, it was proposed to observe the behavior and mechanisms of action of colonizing microorganisms involved in skin tissue damaged by AD and the consequent loss of philagrin with changes in the skin barrier. The analyzes were performed by collection with a disposable loop directly from the colonies in the cultures in Petri dishes. Four microorganisms were analyzed by Raman spectroscopy, namely ATCC (American Type Culture Collection) strains of Staphylococcus aureus-25923, Staphylococcus epidermidis-12228, Streptococcus pyogenes-19615 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa 10145. Through 2nd derivatives, the Raman spectra showed different characteristics in relation to the protein and lipid content among the four bacteria analyzed. Statistical methods such as spectral mean and standard deviation, PCA (Principal Component Analysis) and Ward's Dendogram were also applied, in which all showed low dispersion and discrepancy in their data. The methodology employed can show the efficacy of Raman spectroscopy applied to biological samples as a tool for determining the skin barriers integrity and presenting paths for the future development of new drugs, lotions or ointments in helping the treatment of patients affected by atopic dermatitis resulting from microbial biofilms.
