Staphylococcus aureus colonizing the skin microbiota of adults with severe atopic dermatitis exhibits genomic diversity and convergence in biofilm traits
20 Sept 2024
Abstract excerpt
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder exacerbated by Staphylococcus aureus colonization. The specific factors that drive S. aureus overgrowth and persistence in AD remain poorly understood. This study analyzed skin barrier functions and microbiome diversity in lesional (LE) and non-lesional (NL) forearm sites of individuals with severe AD compared to healthy control subjects (HS). Notable...
