Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The purpose of this study is to characterize the bacterial strains that colonize children with atopic dermatitis. The investigators hypothesize that rectal cultures will be more sensitive than anterior nares cultures for detecting S. aureus colonization, and that strains of S. aureus colonizing patients with atopic dermatitis will be resistant to commonly used topical antibiotic ointments.
