Bacterial species distribution on the genital skin of hospitalized patients with stroke manifesting incontinence-associated dermatitis: A cross-sectional study.

A high detection rate of S. aureus on genital skin sites potentially affects the presence of incontinence-associated dermatitis and its severity. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2023; ••: ••-••.
