Phenol-Soluble Modulins Modulate Persister Cell Formation in Staphylococcus aureus
9 Nov 2020
Abstract excerpt
SStaphylococcus aureus is a human pathogen that can cause chronic and recurrent infections recalcitrant to antibiotic chemotherapy. This trait is partly attributed to its ability to form persister cells, which are subpopulations of cells tolerant to lethal concentrations of antibiotics. Recently, we showed that the phenol-soluble modulins (PSMs) expressed by S. aureus reduce persister cell formation. PSMs are a...
