How a mouth-dwelling microbe inhibits the growth of other bacteria

S. mutans produces tryglysin to inhibit the growth of competing species, including other streptococci that could cause opportunistic infection.

Nose-dwelling bacterium contributes to a healthy nasal microbiota

Staphylococcus epidermidis contributes to a healthy nasal microbiota, likely by stimulating the production of antimicrobial molecules in the nose.
