Longitudinal Dynamics of Skin Bacterial Communities in the Context of Staphylococcus aureus Decolonization

Longitudinal Dynamics of Skin Bacterial Communities in the Context of Staphylococcus aureus Decolonization

ABSTRACT Decolonization with topical antimicrobials is frequently prescribed in health care and community settings to prevent Staphylococcus aureus infection. However, effects on commensal skin microbial communities remains largely unexplored. Within a household affected by recurrent methicillin-res...
