Direct Quantitative Transcript Analysis of the agr Regulon of Staphylococcus aureus during Human Infection in Comparison to the Expression Profile In Vitro
1 Mar 2000
Abstract excerpt
Bacteria possess a repertoire of distinct regulatory systems promoting survival in disparate environments. Under in vitro conditions it was demonstrated for the human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus that the expression of most virulence factors is coordinated by the global regulator agr. To monitor bacterial gene regulation in the host, we developed a method for direct transcript analysis from clinical specimens....
