Staphylococcal Virulence Factors on the Skin of Atopic Dermatitis Patients

Staphylococcal Virulence Factors on the Skin of Atopic Dermatitis Patients

For the first time, we show that secreted staphylococcal virulence factors can be quantified at the protein level directly from skin swabs obtained from the skin of atopic dermatitis patients. This technique eliminates the need to culture Staphylococcus aureus and then test the strain’s potential to...
