Laboratory investigation reveals elevated multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus colonization in atopic dermatitis patients, highlighting the need for alternative phototreatments.
Staphylococcus aureus massively colonizes the skin of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD). It is worth noting that the frequency of detection of multidrug-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) in AD patients is higher than the healthy population, which makes treatment much more difficult. Information about the specific genetic background of S. aureus accompanying and/or causing exacerbations of AD is of great importance from the point of view of epidemiological investigations and the development of possible treatment options.
