Differential transcription of genes involved in the biosynthesis of the tetrasaccharide linker. Relative transcript abundance of mRNAs for cultured keratinocytes (a) and fibroblasts (b) in the absence of bacteria (black bars), in the presence of Propinebacterium acnes (dark grey bars), Staphyloccocus aureus (light grey bars), and Staphyloccocus epidermidis (white bars) are plotted on a logarithmic scale. The spreads represent the standard deviations. Statistically significant differences are denoted by ***, and *, which indicate p < 0.001, and p < 0.05 respectively
