Bacterial and staphylococcal communities on skin and in anterior nares of patients with atopic dermatitis and healthy controls

Bacterial and staphylococcal species communities on the skin of adult patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) (n=94) and healthy controls (n=92) were characterized by amplicon sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA V3V4-region and tuf gene respectively. Two skin samples were collected from each AD patient: one from lesional and one from non-lesional skin. Furthermore, targeted amplicon sequencing of the 16S rRNA V3V4-region and the tuf gene were also performed on samples collected from the anterior nares of the study participants.
