MP1-dependent competitive capacity of S. hominis S34-1 against MRSA in a skin punch model. Mice (n = 17/group) received 1 × 107 CFU of the indicated bacteria (in mixtures, 1 × 107 CFU each) of the indicated bacteria in a 5-mm square hole cut into a 1-cm diameter square silicone sheet pasted on a shaved area on the posterior lower back. CFU was determined by plating of the dissected colonized skin tissue after 24 h. Statistical analysis is by Kruskal-Wallis with Dunn’s post-test. Error bars show the mean ± SD. See Fig. 5 for a control experiment comparing CFU of S. hominis S34-1 and S34-1Δ
