Extracellular proteases are key mediators of <scp> <i>S</i> </scp> <i>taphylococcus aureus</i> virulence via the global modulation of virulence‐determinant stability
11 Dec 2012
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus is a highly virulent and successful pathogen that causes a diverse array of diseases. Recently, an increase of severe infections in healthy subjects has been observed, caused by community-associated methicillin-resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA). The reason for enhanced CA-MRSA virulence is unclear; however, work suggests that it results from hypersecretion of agr-regulated toxins, including...
