Quorum sensing in staphylococci.

Annual review of genetics - 1 Jan 2008

Novick Richard P, Geisinger Edward

Abstract excerpt

The staphylococcal agr locus encodes a quorum sensing (QS) system that controls the expression of virulence and other accessory genes by a classical two-component signaling module. Like QS modalities in other Gram-positive bacteria, agr encodes an autoactivating peptide (AIP) that is the inducing ligand for AgrC, the agr signal receptor. Unlike other such systems, agr variants have arisen that show strong...
