Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus
was found to have a higher resistance to merbromin and mercuric chloride in the presence of
Escherichia coli
. The protective effect of the gram-negative organism on
S. aureus
was due to the production of extracellular glutathione and hydrogen sulfide and to an unequal distribution of the inhibitor between the two species.
S. aureus
did not significantly influence the resistance of
E. coli
to mercurials.
