Abstract
ABSTRACT
Previously it has been demonstrated that
Staphylococcus aureus
is sensitive toward
Pseudomonas
-secreted exotoxins, which preferentially target the electron transport chain in staphylococci. Here it is shown that a subpopulation of
S. aureus
survives these respiratory toxins of
P
seudomonas aeruginosa
by selection of the small-colony variant (SCV) phenotype. Purified pyocyanin alone causes the same effect. A
hem
B
mutant of
S. aureus
survives cocultivation with
P. aeruginosa
without a decrease in CFU.
