Staphylococcus aureus colonizes the skin of atopic dermatitis (AD) individuals, but the
impact of its enterotoxins on the chronic activation of CD4+ T cells demands further analysis …

Background Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with biphasic T
cell-mediated abnormalities. Staphylococcal superantigens contribute to the exacerbation of …

Background Staphylococcus aureus is a well known trigger factor of atopic dermatitis (AD).
Besides the superantigens, further exotoxins are produced by S. aureus and may have an …

Background: The incidence of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) colonization on the skin of
patients with atopic eczema/dermatitis syndrome (AEDS) is approximately 90% and a variety …

Background: Patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) are frequently colonized with α-toxin-
producing Staphylococcus aureus which is in turn positively correlated with the severity of …

Background Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic recurrent inflammatory disease, with
prevalence of about 10–20% in children and 1–3% in adults. S taphylococcus aureus is …

BACKGROUND: Immune surveillance against microbes at sites of interface with
environment involves immediate recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns by …

Interactions between the immune system and skin bacteria are of major importance in the
pathophysiology of atopic dermatitis (AD), yet our understanding of them is limited. From a …

Background Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic and recurrent inflammatory skin disease that
can be triggered by various precipitating factors, including colonization by Staphylococcus …

DS–Nh mice raised under conventional conditions spontaneously develop dermatitis similar
to human atopic dermatitis (AD), which is associated with staphylococcal infection. In the …
