Abstract
is important for S. aureus to resist propionate stress and that the CodY regulon mediates growth in inhibitory concentrations of butyrate. This work highlights the possible complexity of S. aureus-anaerobe interactions and implicates membrane stress as a possible mechanism influencing S. aureus behavior in CRS sinuses.
