Aromatic Compound-Dependent Staphylococcus aureus Is Safe in a Nasal Colonization Leukopenic Murine Model.

Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage is a risk factor for individuals suffering from trauma, surgical procedures, invasive devices, and/or decreased immunity. Recently, we demonstrated that artificial nasal colonization with an attenuated S. aureus mutant reduced by bacterial interference with the colonization of pathogenic strains of S.
