1 Aug 1992
Abstract excerpt
The effect of alkaline pH on expression of the accessory gene regulator (agr) in Staphylococcus aureus was examined. agr, a global regulator, affects the expression of numerous exoproteins, including alpha-hemolysin, toxic shock syndrome toxin 1, protein A, and staphylococcal enterotoxins types B, C, and D. agr contains two major, divergent transcripts, designated RNAII and RNAIII.
