Differential Pathogenic and Commensal Response of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> and <i>Staphylococcus epidermidis</i> Towards Chemical Signals of Human Skin

2026-01-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus and commensal Staphylococcus epidermidis encounter acidic pH and C16 fatty acids on human skin, but S. aureu s uniquely has a complete fad pathway for metabolism of saturated C16:0 palmitic acid. We now report on significant differences in their response to C16 fatty acids during growth at pH 5.5. Unsaturated palmitoleic acid C16:1 was more toxic to S. aureu...
