MP1-dependent competitive capacity of S. hominis S34-1 against MRSA during skin infection. Mice received 1 × 107 CFU of the indicated bacteria in 100 μl PBS by subcutaneous infection in the right and left flanks at the dorsum. n = 5 mice/group. a Abscess size comparisons on day 1. Statistical analysis is by 1-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-test. b Abscess sizes over time. c Pictures of abscesses on day 1. d Skin histopathology on day 1. Note extensive infiltration of granulocytes (yellow arrows) in MRSA and MRSA + S34-1Δ groups. a, b Error bars show the mean ± SD. See Fig. 5 for a control experiment comparing CFU of S. hominis S34-1 and S-341Δ
