3:1 Co-cultures show decreases in both P. aeruginosa and MRSA cell counts, with MRSA being less affected compared to 1:1 co-cultures. Compared to mono-culture counts, decrease in CFU/mL were observed for both P. aeruginosa and MRSA upon co-culturing in 3:1 MRSA:PA ratios. MRSA counts were shown to be higher than after incubation as 3:1 co-cultures when compared to 1:1 co-culture counts. MRSA cell counts were lower than P. aeruginosa cell counts in all 3:1 co-culture combinations.
