Molecular genetics of SaPI1 – a mobile pathogenicity island in Staphylococcus aureus

1 Jul 2001

Abstract excerpt

The Staphylococcus aureus gene for toxic shock toxin (tst) is carried by a 15 kb mobile pathogenicity island, SaPI1, that has an intimate relationship with temperate staphylococcal phage 80alpha. During phage growth, SaPI1 is excised from its unique chromosomal site, attC, replicates autonomously, interferes with phage growth, and is efficiently encapsidated into special small phage heads commensurate with its...
