Two-component regulator of Enterococcus faecalis cytolysin responds to quorum-sensing autoinduction.

Nature - 3 Jan 2002

Haas Wolfgang, Shepard Brett D, Gilmore Michael S

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria of the genus Enterococcus are the main causes of highly antibiotic-resistant infections that are acquired in hospitals. Many clinical isolates of Enterococcus faecalis produce an exotoxin called cytolysin that contributes to bacterial virulence. In addition to its toxin activity, the cytolysin is bactericidal for nearly all Gram-positive organisms. An understanding of conditions that regulate cytolysin...
