Abstract excerpt
The sarA locus of Staphylococccus aureus regulates the synthesis of over 100 genes on the S. aureus chromosome. We now report the effects of sarA inactivation on intrinsic multidrug resistance expression by S. aureus. In a strain-dependent fashion, sarA::kan mutants of three unrelated strains of S. aureus demonstrated significantly increased susceptibility to five or more of the following substances: the...
