Antiseptics reduce S. aureus on skin - Video abstract [ID 215023]

Video abstract of an original research "Emollient formulations containing antiseptics reduce effectively the level of Staphylococcus aureus on skin” published in the open access journal Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology by Fabrizio Spada, Tanya M Barnes and Kerryn A Greive.
Background: Increased skin colonization by Staphylococcus aureus is associated with atopic eczema (AE) severity. Reduction of S. aureus levels on the skin results in an improvement in the clinical condition.
Methods: The antimicrobial activity of topical products including a bath oil, cream, and wash combining antiseptics and emollients (A+E) was compared to products containing emollients only. The preference of patients with AE for A+E cream or emollient only cream to relieve symptoms of itching, erythema, and inflammation when applied three times daily for 10 days is evaluated. Repeat insult patch testing of the products is also conducted.
Results: A significant reduction in microbial counts was found following use of A+E bath oil (4.09±0.32 vs 6.20±0.24 log10 cfu/mL S. aureus, P<0.001), A+E cream (5.50±0.63 vs 5.94±0.72 log10 cfu/foot S. aureus, P=0.002), and A+E wash (2.71±0.48 vs 3.57±0.31 log10 cfu/mL Escherichia coli, P<0.001) compared to the emollient only products. The A+E cream was preferred to the emollient only cream (P=0.004) by patients with AE. All three tested formulations were found to be non-irritating and non-sensitizing to the skin.
Conclusion: The bath oil, cream, and wash containing antiseptics and emollients decrease the level of bacteria on the skin, including S. aureus, compared to emollient only products. Patients with AE preferred the A+E cream compared to the emollient only cream to relieve symptoms of itching, erythema, and inflammation. The choice of formulation allows clinicians and patients to choose a suitable product for the short-term treatment of eczema flareups caused by bacterial infections.

There’s a soap called Cutar over the counter you can buy and Hibiclens antiseptic skin cleaner. Take your time too look it up. As far as bath oils I’m not sure I’m needed better treatments myself.
