19 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
Some clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus produce the superantigenic toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 (TSST-1), encoded by tst, located on pathogenicity islands. The expression of tst is complex and is influenced by environmental conditions such as pH, CO(2), and glucose. We identified a putative catabolite-responsive element (cre) in the promoter regions of all known tst genes, indicating that tst...
