Dialogue between Staphylococcus aureus SA15 and Lactococcus garvieae strains experiencing oxidative stress
Résumé
The results showed that under high aeration condition, L. garvieae strains producing H 2 O 2 (N201 and CL-1183) inhibited S. aureus SA15 growth and impaired its ability to deal with hydrogen peroxide by repressing H 2 O 2 -degrading genes. L. garvieae strains induced overexpression of S. aureus stress-response genes while cell division genes and virulence genes were repressed. A catalase treatment partially or completely restored the SA15 growth. In addition, the H 2 O 2 non-producing L. garvieae strain (Lg2) did not cause any growth inhibition. The SA15 stress-response genes were down-regulated and cell division genes expression was not affected. Under low aeration condition, while none of the strains tested exhibited H 2 O 2 -production, the 3 L. garvieae strains inhibited S. aureus SA15 growth, but to a lesser extent than under high aeration condition.
Taken together, these results suggest a L. garvieae strain-specific anti-staphylococcal mechanism and an H 2 O 2 involvement in at least two of the tested L. garvieae strains.
