The lone S41 family C-terminal processing protease in Staphylococcus aureus is localized to the cell wall and contributes to virulence
16 Jun 2014
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus is a versatile pathogen of humans and a continued public health concern due to the rise and spread of multidrug-resistant strains. As part of an ongoing investigation into the pathogenic mechanisms of this organism we previously demonstrated that an intracellular N-terminal processing protease is required for S. aureus virulence. Following on from this, here we examine the role of CtpA, the...
