The Staphylococcus aureus CsoR regulates both chromosomal and plasmid‐encoded copper resistance mechanisms
4 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
Copper is an essential metal which is used as a cofactor in several enzymes and is required for numerous essential biochemical reactions. However, free copper ions can be toxic to cellular systems if the intracellular concentration is not tightly regulated. In this study we show that Staphylococcus aureus copper resistance is not the same in every staphylococcal isolate, but in fact varies considerably between...
