“Probiotic” application of S. hominis S34-1 against S. aureus wound infection. a Wound closure rate. Wound closure is expressed as a decrease in wound size. Mice (n = 4/group) received 1 × 107 CFU (in mixtures, 1 × 107 CFU each) of the indicated bacteria, or PBS as control, in wounds created by excision of a round area with a 6-mm diameter. The S. aureus strain Xen 36 was used. Error bars show the mean ± SD. b Bacterial load in wounds at days 1 and 15 after infection by in vivo imaging of the luminescence expressed by S. aureus strain Xen36
