Figure 2. Staphylococcus aureus Colonization Is Increased on Netherton Syndrome Skin.

Figure 2.

(A) Percentage relative abundance of staphylococcal species within the total bacterial population on healthy controls, NS non-lesional, and NS lesional skin. NS subjects are arranged according to disease severity.

(B) S. aureus (red) and total staphylococci (black) colony-forming units (CFUs) per square centimeter of skin from healthy controls and NS non-lesional and lesional skin (n, number of swabs assessed per condition). Results represent mean ± SEM, and the non-parametric unpaired Kruskal-Wallis test was used to determine statistical significance: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, and ****p < 0.0001.

(C) S. aureus CFUs per square centimeter of skin of NS non-lesional (black) and lesional (red) skin swabs at different visits (swab number) for each subject within the NS cohort. Each dot represents a swab sample. Different numbers of swabs were collected for the different subjects depending on the number of visits they had during the time of the study.
