The skin of patients is colonized with Staphylococcus aureus in 90% of cases. An attempt has been made to demonstrate that eradication significantly reduces the severity of the disease. Studies indicate the efficacy of topical antibiotics, topical corticosteroids and calcineurin inhibitors. Due to increasing resistance to drugs and the defective antimicrobial peptide profile, decolonization is virtually impossible %K Staphylococcus aureus %K atopic dermatitis %K mupirocin %K fusidic acid %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5799759/
