Fig. 3. Antimicrobial activity is detected in diverse strains of CoNS and not predictable at the species level. Antimicrobial activity is detected in diverse strains of CoNS and not predictable at the species level. (A) Relative abundance of CoNS species with antimicrobial activity from five non-AD subjects and seven subjects with AD, who were randomly selected. Up to 48 CoNS isolates were randomly selected from each individual for 16S rRNA sequencing to identify species. Refer to table S2 for details. (B) Relative abundance of CoNS species without anti–S. aureus activity isolated from six subjects with AD. Refer to table S2 for details.
