Flexures of the elbows were covered with silver-coated textiles on one arm and cotton on the other for 7 days followed by a 7-day control period. <i>Results:<\/i> A highly significant decrease in <i>S. aureus<\/i> colonization could be seen on the site covered by the silver-coated textile already 2 days after initiation lasting until the end of the treatment. Seven days after cessation, <i>S. aureus<\/i> density remained significantly lower compared to baseline. In addition, significantly lower numbers of <i>S. aureus<\/i> were observed on the silver-coated textile site in comparison to cotton at the end of treatment as well as at the time point of control. Clinical improvement correlated with the reduction of <i>S.\u00a0aureus<\/i> colonization. <i>Conclusion:<\/i> A superior improvement achieved by silver-coated compared to cotton textiles paralleled a potent anti-<i>S.-aureus<\/i> effect.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000070935","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,7,11]],"date-time":"2003-07-11T08:22:02Z","timestamp":1057911722000},"page":"15-21","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":96,"title":["Silver-Coated Textiles Reduce <i>Staphylococcus aureus <\/i>Colonization in Patients with Atopic Eczema"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"207","author":[{"given":"Anke","family":"Gauger","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Mempel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Annika","family":"Schekatz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Torsten","family":"Sch\u00e4fer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Johannes","family":"Ring","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dietrich","family":"Abeck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2003,7,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0378-1097(00)00400-6"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mai.2000.105528"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000018253"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0142-9612(01)00198-3"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1097-4636(20001215)52:4<662::AID-JBM10>3.0.CO;2-3"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1523-1747.ep12470233"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1523-1747.ep12348937"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1523-1747.1999.00809.x"}],"container-title":["Dermatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/70935","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/70935","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T03:25:54Z","timestamp":1745465154000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000070935"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2003]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2003,7,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000070935","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1018-8665","1421-9832"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1018-8665","type":"print"},{"value":"1421-9832","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2003]]}}}
