Abstract excerpt
The synthesis of at least 14 extracellular toxins and enzymes in Staphylococcus aureus is regulated by a set of trans-acting elements from the agr (accessory gene regulator) locus. We have shown that the delta-lysin gene (hld) that is transcribed from a promoter immediately upstream of the agr lo...
