Repression of virulence by Staphylococcus aureus strains from different Agr groups has been demonstrated in vitro and is proposed as a means of competitive interference. Here, using the insect Manduca sexta, we show for the first time that this interference also occurs in vivo within a mixed population.
来自不同Agr组的金黄色葡萄球菌菌株对毒力的抑制已在体外得到证实,并被认为是一种竞争性干扰手段。在此,我们利用烟草天蛾首次证明这种干扰在混合群体的体内也会发生。
