Infant Microbiome in Diaper Rash

August 15, 2017 updated by: Kimberly-Clark Corporation

An Exploratory Study to Evaluate the Microbial Consortia of Infants (9-12 Months) Experiencing Diaper Rash and When Healthy

The objective of this study is to evaluate the microbiome composition of infant's (9-12 month) skin experiencing diaper rash in order to determine if the onset and severity of erythema associated with diaper rash is influenced by the type of bacteria colonizing the skin.
