Topical Treatment and Prevalence of P. Acnes

Phase 2 Completed 12 enrolled University of Southern California

RandomizedSingle-groupOpen-labelPrevention

Summary

This study is about preventing surgical site infections of the shoulder. We hope to learn if clindamycin alone, benzoyl peroxide alone, or clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide together can affect growth of Propionibacterium acnes in the dermal layer.
