Effect of a lotion containing the heat-treated probiotic strain <em>Lactobacillus johnsonii </em>NCC 533 on <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> colonization in atopic dermatitis

Abstract

This study demonstrated that the application of a lotion containing HT La1 to the lesional skin of patients with AD for 3 weeks controlled <i>S. aureus</i> colonization and was associated with local clinical improvement (SCORAD). These findings support further development of topical treatments containing heat-treated nonreplicating beneficial bacteria for patients with AD.
