Intermicrobial interactions play a key role in the regulation of microbial populations and the colonization of various ecological niches. In the present study, we assessed the effect of cell-free supernatants (CFSs) from the vaginal isolates Corynebacterium amycolatum ICIS 53 and Corynebacterium amycolatum ICIS 82 on urogenital test strain biofilm formation of Staphylococcus aureus. Our studies showed that the CFSs of both C.

In this study, we demonstrated that the cell-free supernatant of vaginal isolates of C. amycolatum caused a reduction in biofilm formation, destroyed the preformed biofilms, altered the cell surface properties and reduced the production of exopolysaccharides in clinical isolates of P.
