Atopic dermatitis (AD) is one of the most common debilitating inflammatory skin diseases
and often results in lifelong burdens for affected patients. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) colonization has been found in the lesional skin of a majority of AD patients and
can exacerbate the inflammatory responses [
[1]
]. However, how S. aureus colonization contributes to chronic itch, one of the hallmark features of AD, is
unknown.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
