Availability of Zinc Impacts Interactions between Streptococcus sanguinis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Coculture
30 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
Polymicrobial infections in CF cases likely impact patient health, but the mechanism(s) underlying such interactions is poorly understood. Here, we show using an in vitro model system that interactions between Pseudomonas and Streptococcus are modulated by zinc availability, and clinical data are consistent with this model. Together with previous studies, our work supports a role for metal homeostasis as a key...
