Killing niche competitors by remote-control bacteriophage induction

13 Jan 2009

Abstract excerpt

A surprising example of interspecies competition is the production by certain bacteria of hydrogen peroxide at concentrations that are lethal for others. A case in point is the displacement of Staphylococcus aureus by Streptococcus pneumoniae in the nasopharynx, which is of considerable clinical significance. How it is accomplished, however, has been a great mystery, because H(2)O(2) is a very well known...
