Abstract excerpt
Aureocin A53 is an antimicrobial peptide produced by Staphylococcus aureus A53. The genetic determinants involved in aureocin A53 production and immunity to its action are organized in at least four transcriptional units encoded by the 10.4-kb plasmid pRJ9. One transcriptional unit carries only the bacteriocin structural gene, aucA. No immunity gene is found downstream of aucA, as part of the same transcriptional...
