Harnessing diversity and antagonism within the pig skin microbiota to identify novel mediators of colonization resistance to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Harnessing diversity and antagonism within the pig skin microbiota to identify novel mediators of colonization resistance to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

ABSTRACT The microbiota mediate multiple aspects of skin barrier function, including colonization resistance to pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus. The endogenous skin microbiota limits S. aureus colonization via competition and direct inhibition. Novel mechanisms of colonization resistance are...
