This paper introduces a method to genetically modify intractable staphylococcal clones using heat-shock facilitated phage transduction, enabling DNA introduction into bacteria with restriction barriers.

This study shows that Staphylococcus lugdunensis reduces S. aureus colonization by producing lugdunin, and that mutualistic interactions with other commensals enhance its growth through siderophore piracy.

This study identifies and characterizes transcriptional regulators involved in the biosynthesis of brasilicardin in Nocardia terpenica, revealing their regulatory roles and interactions.

The paper shows nasal commensals reduce S. aureus growth by consuming its siderophores, revealing inter-species competition and potential for probiotic strategies.
