Adaptation of Staphylococcus aureus to the Human Skin Environment Identified Using an ex vivo Tissue Model
21 Sept 2021
Abstract excerpt
The healthy human epidermis provides physical protection and is impenetrable for pathogenic microbes. Nevertheless, commensal and pathogen bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus are able to colonize the skin surface, which may subsequently lead to infection. To identify and characterize regulatory elements facilitating adaptation of S. aureus to the human skin environment we used ex vivo tissue explants and...
