The Role of msa in Staphylococcus aureus Biofilm Formation.

BMC microbiology - 16 Dec 2008

Sambanthamoorthy Karthik, Schwartz Antony, Nagarajan Vijayaraj, Elasri Mohamed O

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen that forms biofilms. The global regulator sarA is essential for biofilm formation. Since the modulator of sarA (msa) is required for full expression of sarA and regulates several virulence factors, we examined the capacity of the msa muta...
