Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus are frequently co-isolated from biofilm-associated infections. A new study by Ch'ng et al. revealed that S. aureus-released heme feeds E. faecalis respiration, augmenting E. faecalis growth and overall biofilm biomass. Their finding further supports the theory that metabolite cross-feeding is a critical aspect shaping polymicrobial biofilm interactions.
肠球菌和金黄色葡萄球菌经常从生物膜相关感染中共同分离出来。Ch'ng 等人的一项新研究表明,金黄色葡萄球菌释放的血红素为肠球菌的呼吸提供营养,从而增强肠球菌的生长和生物膜的总体生物量。他们的发现进一步支持了这样一种理论,即代谢物交叉喂养是塑造多微生物生物膜相互作用的关键方面。
