16S rRNA microbiome of human skin: CHG-Treated volar forearm
Left and right forearm skin swab samples were obtained from 10 healthy volunteers over 72h at 24h intervals. Dorsal surface of left arm was treated with chlorohexidine gluconate (CHG) at initial timepoint (T=0), while the right arm remained untreated (control). Swab samples were obtained shortly before (T=0) and after CHG treatment (T=24-48-72h).
