Staphylococcus ⇒ Staphylococcus hominis {10002004} Record Keys Parent:Staphylococcus Definition:Staphylococcus hominis Details Initialisation date:[ ] Meta Information Rank: Species Domain: Bacteria Zone:[ ] Enzyme:[ ] Function:[ ] Notes: [ ]Shared Reference Notes [1.1] [#Atopic Dermatitis] [#Staphylococcus aureus, #Staphylococcus lugdunensis] - Staphylococcus hominis, S. lugdunensis and S. epidermidis produce several molecules capable of synergizing the innate antimicrobial response against S. aureus [1.2] - S. hominis is another CoNS that produces #Lantibiotics, a class of cyclic AMPs containing lanthionine and methyllanthionine [1.3] [#Natural Skin Microbiome] [#Staphylococcus aureus] - Other Staphylococcus spp. that inhabit the skin of humans, for example Staphylococcus hominis and #Staphylococcus lugdunensis, may produce antimicrobial peptides that specifically inhibit colonization by S. aureus. [1.4] [#Staphylococcus aureus] [#Antimicrobial peptides] - #Staphylococcus epidermidis produces #Epidermin or the #Hominicin produced by Staphylococcus hominis, with both AMPs being extremely effective against S. aureus [#Staphylococcus aureus] [#Short peptide bacteriocins] - SPB from S. hominis which was capable of inhibiting S. aureus quorum sensing and limited S. aureus-mediated epidermal proteolysis and inflammatory responseReferences Notes[ ]
