Viable counts of axenic and combined cultures of pre-established communities of S. saprophyticus and C. xerosis when exposed to the transient pathogenic bacteria MRSA and P. aeruginosa in simulated sweat. Data are means of three separate experiments. Asterisks indicate significant differences (p < 0.05). White boxes, axenic culture; black boxes, binary culture; minimum and maximum outliers are also indicated.
