Staphylococcus aureus plays a central role in the exacerbation of atopic dermatitis (AD), but the population structure and pathogenic determinants of strains colonizing AD patients remain poorly understood. It is unclear whether these strains mirror those circulating in the general community or whether specific clonal lineages are selectively adapted to the AD skin microenvironment. Data addressing this question are scarce, particularly in Portugal. In this study, we investigated the molecular e...
