Precise spatial structure impacts antimicrobial susceptibility of S. aureus in polymicrobial wound infections

Abstract excerpt

A hallmark of microbial ecology is that interactions between members of a community shape community function. This includes microbial communities in human infections, such as chronic wounds, where interactions can result in more severe diseases. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common organism isolated from human chronic wound infections and has been shown to have both cooperative and competitive interactions...
