Abstract excerpt
A natural rsbU mutant of Staphylococcus aureus, unable to activate the alternative transcription factor sigma(B) via the RsbU pathway and therefore forming unpigmented colonies, produced first-step teicoplanin-resistant mutants upon selection for growth in the presence of teicoplanin, of which the majority were of an intense orange color. By using an asp23 promoter-luciferase fusion as an indicator, the pigmented...
