Abstract excerpt
The growth phase-dependent activity profile of the alternate transcription factor sigma(B) and its effects on the expression of sar and agr were examined in three different Staphylococcus aureus strains by Northern blot analyses and by the use of reporter gene fusion experiments. Significant sigma(B) activity was detectable only in the clinical isolates MSSA1112 and Newman, carrying the wild-type rsbU allele, but...
