Modulation of Staphylococcus aureus virulence gene expression by staphylococcal culture supernatants. TSA agar plates (with erythromycin and X-gal) containing (A) the hla-lacZ (PC322; Eryr), (B) the rnaIII-lacZ (SH101F7; Eryr), or (C) the spa-lacZ (PC203; Eryr) reporter strain of S. aureus were exposed to 20 μL (in pre-drilled wells) of supernatants from centrifugation (8000 rpm for 60 s) of overnight cultures of strains 27472 (Staphylococcus intermedius), 28993 (Staphylococcus haemolyticus), 30755 (Staphylococcus pseudintermedius), 30743 (Staphylococcus schleiferi), 29886 (Staphylococcus delphini), 30106 (Staphylococcus warneri) and 2898 (Staphylococcus schleiferi). H2O was used as a control. Zones appeared between 9 and 36 h of incubation at 37°C. This figure is representative of one set of screening plates.
