Dr. Lisa Beck talks about sweat duct dysfunction and the impact of S. aureus colonization.
Dr Lisa Beck outlines emerging evidence showing that the loss of claudin-3 in the sweat glands of patients with atopic dermatitis contributes to pathogenic leak of sweat within the epidermis. She discusses how this may result in itch symptoms and increased susceptibility to infections. She further explores the impact of skin dysbiosis, focusing on the effect of S. aureus colonization.
