Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus is a prominent human pathogen and is known to form L-forms in vitro and in vivo during infection. However, the conditions of L-form formation are not optimal and the mechanisms of L-form formation in this organism are unknown. Here, we optimized the conditions of S. aureus unstable L-form formation, constructed a transposon mutant library and screened for mutants defective in unstable L-form...
