Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of pneumonia. We show here that the ClpXP protease involved in protein turnover is important for pathogenesis in a murine model of acute pneumonia. Staphylococcus aureus lacking this protease is attenuated in vivo, being rapidly cleared from the airway and leading to decreased immune cell influx and inflammation. Characterization of defined mutations in vitro identified...
