“…Treatment with antibiotics is often unable to provide long-term remission of the disease, 10 and extensive research on the postulated anti-inflammatory role of antimicrobial substances is lacking. 20,21 In contrast, development of antimicrobial resistance under long-term antibiotic treatment, both with topical and systemic antibiotics, is an important issue that needs to be addressed. 22,23 With treatment options lacking, especially for mild and moderate HS, the interest in LAight therapy is considerable due to its demonstrated high effectiveness in this patient group.…”

“…In the current guidelines, a 12‐week course of clindamycin and rifampicin combination therapy is recommended as antibiotic therapy for patients with moderate to severe HS, with 48% of patients achieving HiSCR 9,10 . Rifampicin has antibacterial and anti‐inflammatory effects, immunomodulatory properties on neutrophils and destructive activity on bacterial biofilms 11,12 . However, due to a high chance for bacterial resistance, rifampicin should not be prescribed as monotherapy.…”

Therefore, clindamycin, a bacteriostatic and bactericidal antibiotic for gram-positive aerobe and anaerobe bacteria with TNF and IL-1β inhibitory properties, is added to rifampicin therapy.…”
