Reassessing the Role of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Clumping Factor and Fibronectin-Binding Protein by Expression in <i>Lactococcus lactis</i>
1 Oct 2001
Abstract excerpt
Since Staphylococcus aureus expresses multiple pathogenic factors, studying their individual roles in single-gene-knockout mutants is difficult. To circumvent this problem, S. aureus clumping factor A (clfA) and fibronectin-binding protein A (fnbA) genes were constitutively expressed in poorly pathogenic Lactococcus lactis using the recently described pOri23 vector. The recombinant organisms were tested in vitro...
