Abstract

Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is often worsened by Staphylococcus aureus colonization, which compromises the skin barrier and increases inflammation. This study aimed to identify risk factors for S. aureus infection in AD patients. Swabs from 100 AD patients at Baqubah Teaching Hospital, Iraq, were analyzed from October to February 2023. S. aureus was identified in 40% of patients using the Vitek 2 device. Results showed a significant correlation between S. aureus colonization and AD, particularly in younger patients, with the highest infection rates in males over 40. These findings highlight the need for targeted treatments to manage S. aureus in AD, potentially improving patient outcomes. Highlights: High Infection Rates: S. aureus found in 40% of AD patients. Age Correlation: Higher colonization in younger AD patients. Targeted Treatment: Emphasize targeted therapies for managing S. aureus in AD. Keywords: Atopic Dermatitis, Staphylococcus aureus, skin barrier, microbial dysbiosis, infection risk

Abstract

Chitosan, derived from natural sources like fish scales and fungal cell walls, forms nanoparticles (NPs) with notable antimicrobial properties. This study examines the antibacterial effects of ascorbic acid combined with nano-chitosan on Staphylococcus aureus isolates from 100 atopic dermatitis (AD) patients. Using the Vitek 2 Compact device for bacterial identification and antibiotic sensitivity testing, we found that nano-chitosan/ascorbic acid composites significantly inhibited the growth of multidrug-resistant S. aureus. The antimicrobial activity increased with higher concentrations, highlighting the potential of this natural polymer blend as an effective treatment for AD-related bacterial infections. Highlights: Effective Inhibition: Nano-chitosan/ascorbic acid inhibits multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. AD Focus: Targets S. aureus in atopic dermatitis patients. Green Alternative: Uses natural, non-toxic antibacterial agents. Keywords: Chitosan nanoparticles, Ascorbic acid, Staphylococcus aureus, Atopic dermatitis, Antibacterial treatment
