Expanded Glucose Import Capability Affords Staphylococcus aureus Optimized Glycolytic Flux during Infection
23 Jun 2016
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Acquisition of numerous virulence determinants affords Staphylococcus aureus greater pathogenicity than other skin-colonizing staphylococci in humans. Additionally, the metabolic adaptation of S. aureus to nonrespiratory conditions encountered during infection (e.g., hypoxia, nitric oxide, iron chelation) has been implicated as contributing to S. aureus virulence. Specifically, S. aureus has been...
