Role of murF in cell wall biosynthesis: isolation and characterization of a murF conditional mutant of Staphylococcus aureus.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Apr 2006

Sobral R G, Ludovice A M, de Lencastre H, Tomasz A

Abstract excerpt

The Staphylococcus aureus murF gene was placed under the control of a promoter inducible by IPTG (isopropyl-beta-d-thiogalactopyranoside). It was demonstrated that murF is an essential gene; it is cotranscribed with ddlA and growth rate, level of beta-lactam antibiotic resistance, and rates of transcription of the mecA and pbpB genes paralleled the rates of transcription of murF. At suboptimal concentrations of...
