A link in transcription between the native pbpB and the acquired mecA gene in a strain of Staphylococcus aureus.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Sept 2006

Gardete Susana, de Lencastre Hermínia, Tomasz Alexander

Abstract excerpt

Conditional mutants of pbpB with an IPTG-inducible promoter were used to compare the effects of interrupted transcription of this gene in a meticillin-sensitive (MSSA) and a meticillin-resistant (MRSA) strain of Staphylococcus aureus. After 3 h growth following the removal of IPTG, multiplication of the MSSA strain stopped abruptly, cells began to lyse, and membrane preparations showed greatly decreased...
