Characterization of theStaphylococcus epidermidisAccessory‐Gene Regulator Response: Quorum‐Sensing Regulation of Resistance to Human Innate Host Defense

Abstract excerpt

Staphylococci are important opportunistic pathogens. However, there is a lack of information on how these bacteria survive inside the human body during infection. This study demonstrates that quorum-sensing regulation in Staphylococcus epidermidis protects it from key mechanisms of human innate host defense. To gain a better understanding of the basis of the observed phenotype, the agr quorum-sensing regulon of...
