Comparative Analysis of the Roles of HtrA-Like Surface Proteases in Two Virulent Staphylococcus aureus Strains
23 Dec 2004
Abstract excerpt
The HtrA surface protease is involved in the virulence of many pathogens, mainly by its role in stress resistance and bacterial survival. Staphylococcus aureus encodes two putative HtrA-like proteases, referred to as HtrA(1) and HtrA(2). To investigate the roles of HtrA proteins in S. aureus, we constructed htrA(1), htrA(2), and htrA(1) htrA(2) insertion mutants in two genetically different virulent strains,...
