Abstract
Summary The carriage on skin lesions, on healthy skin and in the nose, of micro-organisms that produce antibiotics active against Staphylococcus aureus has been studied. About 5% of sites (10% of all patients) yielded such organisms. No evidence could be found that the presence of producer organisms in skin lesions had a protective effect against colonisation by S. aureus.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
