- Strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis produce 6-N-hydroxyaminopurine (6-HAP), that inhibits DNA polymerase activity. - In culture, 6-HAP selectively inhibited proliferation of tumor. - Colonization of mice with an S. epidermidis strain producing 6-HAP reduced the incidence of ultraviolet-induced tumors compared to mice colonized by a control strain that did not produce 6-HAP.
