Impact of Antibiotics on Expression of Virulence‐Associated Exotoxin Genes in Methicillin‐Sensitive and Methicillin‐Resistant<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>

Abstract excerpt

Extracellular protein toxins contribute to the pathogenesis of a wide variety of Staphylococcus aureus infections. The present study investigated the effects that cell-wall active antibiotics and protein-synthesis inhibitors have on transcription and translation of genes for Panton-Valentine leukocidin, alpha-hemolysin, and toxic-shock syndrome toxin 1, in both methicillin-sensitive and methicillin-resistant S....
