Özet
Seborrheic dermatitis is an inflammatory skin disease that affects 1-3% of the general population. The species has been implicated as the main causative agent; however, the bacterial flora of the skin may also play role in the etiopathogenesis. Therefore, we investigated the most common bacterial agent of the skin flora of patients with seborrheic dermatitis. Fifty-one patients with seborrheic dermatitis and 50 healthy individuals are included in this study. Sterile cotton swabs were rubbed on the scalp of the participants for bacterial culture. Colonial morphology was identified with gram stain and catalase test. Within this study we revealed that colonization was significantly higher among the patients. Therefore, we propose that, in addition to the species, may play a role in the etiopathogenesis of seborrheic dermatitis.
