Figure 2. Staphylococcus aureus-associated dysbiosis in Adam17ΔSox9 mouse skin.
(A, B) Quantification of S. aureus cultured from facial skin swab samples of WT and Adam17ΔSox9 mice (N=8, mean ± SD). (C) Scanning electron microscopy on skin surface of WT and Adam17ΔSox9 mice. Scale bars, 10 μm. (D) Microbiota of WT and Adam17ΔSox9 mice analyzed at indicated time points after birth. Relative abundance of order-genera that represented > 1% of total 16S rRNA gene sequences with additional speciation of Corynebacterium and Staphylococcus genus. Results represent two independent experiments (N=3). See also Figures S2.
