Assessment method [1]
0
0
Study will determine the change in microbial composition following the application of a balm containing Micrococcus luteus Q24 balm at two body sites (elbow and back of hand). The statistical analysis will be carried out to compare the participants skin swab data from baseline to 11 days across two different sites with a level of significance of p\<0.05. Overall colonization based on percentage of population colonized for different interventions will also be analyzed using appropriate statistical analysis software.
