Lysine and Threonine Biosynthesis from Aspartate Contributes to Staphylococcus aureus Growth in Calf Serum
13 Aug 2016
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus is a human pathogen, and S. aureus bacteremia can cause serious problems in humans. To identify the genes required for bacterial growth in calf serum (CS), a library of S. aureus mutants with randomly inserted transposons were analyzed for growth in CS, and the aspartate semialdehyde dehydrogenase (asd)-inactivated mutant exhibited significantly reduced growth in CS compared with the wild...
