Strain-specific interspecies interactions between co-isolated pairs of Staphylococcus aureus and Helcococcus kunzii from chronic wounds
The effect of reducing the virulence of S. aureus by H. kunzii described previously is not reproducible with co-isolated strains from same DFU. The therapeutic strategy of using H. kunzii as a probiotic should be reconsidered in favor of an approach that targets the underlying mechanisms responsible for this virulence reduction.
