The arl locus positively regulates Staphylococcus aureus type 5 capsule via an mgrA-dependent pathway
27 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
Most clinical Staphylococcus aureus strains produce either type 5 or type 8 capsular polysaccharides. The production of these capsules is influenced by various environmental factors. To study the regulation of capsule, Tn551 transposon mutagenesis and transcriptional reporter gene fusion were employed to identify several putative regulatory loci that influenced capsule gene expression. One of these, the arl...
