A microbiome-derived metabolite from Staphylococcus epidermidis inhibits Staphylococcus aureus biofilm formation and virulence
Staphylococcus epidermidis is a common member of the healthy skin microbiome that contributes to barrier function and protection against pathogen colonization. In contrast, Staphylococcus aureus is a major human pathogen and the leading cause of skin and soft tissue infections, owing in part to its robust biofilm-formi...
