Whole genome sequencing and comparative analysis of Corynebacterium pseudodiphtheriticum and Staphylococcus aureus isolates
Corynebacterium pseudodiphtheriticum, a common member of the normal nasal microbiota, mediates contact-independent bactericidal activity against S. aureus. Whole genome sequencing was performed on two strains of C. pseudodiphtheriticum: 10700, a lab-adapted strain, and USU1, a new nasal isolate recently acquired from a healthy volunteer, and three strains of S.aureus: 2014.N, an isolate highly sensitive to C. pseudodiphtheriticum-mediated inhibition, and Survivor A and Survivor B, two isolates completely resistant to C. pseudodiphtheriticum-mediated inhibition.
