Antagonism between Staphylococcus epidermidis and Propionibacterium acnes and its genomic basis
28 Feb 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis live in close proximity on human skin, and both bacterial species can be isolated from normal and acne vulgaris-affected skin sites. The antagonistic interactions between the two species are poorly understood, as well as the potential significance of bacterial interferences for the skin microbiota. Here, we performed simultaneous antagonism assays...
