Figure 2. P. aeruginosa 09-010 supresses the growth of USA300 in vitro and in vivo.

Figure 2

A. USA300 and P. aeruginosa 09-010 (PA) colony forming units (CFUs) were quantified upon growth of single-species or mixed species biofilms in vitro (n = 9). PA reduced the growth of USA300 by 4 logs (** p≤0.001). B. USA300 and P. aeruginosa 09-010 (PA) CFUs determined from porcine wounds on day 2 and 4 post infection (n = 6 per time point). Pseudomonas reduced the growth of USA300 (black bars) in the wounds infected by both species (* p≤0.05). The growth of Pseudomonas (grey bars) was not affected by the presence of USA300.
