Toward S aureus, in log decrease of colony-forming units.

Skewing was defined as percentage change in HUMARA PCR signal caused by HpaII; 50% means equal distribution of methylated and unmethylated gene, that is, no skewing; whereas 99% means that HUMARA on one X chromosome is preferentially methylated, that is, very strong skewing.
