Coagulase-negative staphylococci release a purine analog that inhibits Staphylococcus aureus virulence
Coagulase-negative staphylococci and Staphylococcus aureus colonize similar niches in mammals. Here, Chin et al. show that a coagulase-negative staphylococcus secretes 6-thioguanine, a purine analog that suppresses S. aureus growth and virulence by inhibiting de novo purine biosynthesis and toxin pr...

| Sumario: | Coagulase-negative staphylococci and Staphylococcus aureus colonize similar niches in mammals. Here, Chin et al. show that a coagulase-negative staphylococcus secretes 6-thioguanine, a purine analog that suppresses S. aureus growth and virulence by inhibiting de novo purine biosynthesis and toxin production. |
