Bacterial-bacterial interactions in simulated polymicrobial infections and effect on antimicrobial resistance
We are investigating the effect of antagonistic polymicrobial interactions on the in-vitro antibacterial susceptibility pattern of two virulent co-infectants. The co-infectants chosen are the clinical isolates of methicillin-susceptible and resistance strains of Staphylococcus aureus and the drug-susceptible strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
