Microbial Profile and Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Bacteria Found in Inflammatory Hidradenitis Suppurativa Lesions

Abstract

Our findings on bacterial species and their topographical distribution revealed that the microbial flora in HS lesions reflects commensal flora of the skin. Due to the susceptibility rate and immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, cotrimoxazole may represent an alternative antibiotic agent and should be considered for therapy in HS patients.
