Journal ArticleDOI
Staphylococci: colonizers and pathogens of human skin
TL;DR: The human skin serves many functions and here its role as an antimicrobial barrier and the staphylococcal mechanisms to colonize and counteract the various stresses present in this niche are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative Transcriptomics Reveals Discrete Survival Responses of S. aureus and S. epidermidis to Sapienic Acid.
TL;DR: It is shown that S. aureus is inhibited to a greater extent than S. epidermidis by the sebaceous lipid sapienic acid, supporting a role for this skin antimicrobial in selection of skin staphylococci.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mannitol utilisation is required for protection of Staphylococcus aureus from human skin antimicrobial fatty acids.
John Kenny,Josephine C. Moran,Stacey L. Kolar,Alexander V. Ulanov,Zhong Li,Lindsey N. Shaw,Elisabet Josefsson,Malcolm J. Horsburgh +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the sugar alcohol has a potentiating action for this membrane-acting antimicrobial in Staphylococcus aureus, and virulence was unaffected in a model of septic arthritis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative Genomics of Staphylococcus Reveals Determinants of Speciation and Diversification of Antimicrobial Defense.
Rosanna Coates-Brown,Josephine C. Moran,Pisut Pongchaikul,Alistair C. Darby,Malcolm J. Horsburgh +4 more
TL;DR: This study reveals diversification of antimicrobial-sensing TCS across the staphylococci and hints at differential relationships between GraSR and BraSR in those species positive for both TCS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complete Reference Genome Assembly for Commensalibacter sp. Strain AMU001, an Acetic Acid Bacterium Isolated from the Gut of Honey Bees.
TL;DR: By combining long- and short-read sequencing technologies, the first complete reference genome assembly for the Commensalibacter genus is produced, anticipating that this will aid future comparative and functional genomic studies.
