The nitrosative stress response of Staphylococcus aureus is required for resistance to innate immunity
12 Jul 2006
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus is a highly virulent human pathogen with an extensive array of strategies to subvert the innate immune response. An important aspect of innate immunity is the production of the nitrogen monoxide radical (Nitric Oxide, NO.). Here we describe an adaptive response to nitrosative stress that allows S. aureus to replicate at high concentrations of NO.. Microarray analysis revealed 84...
