Accessory Gene Regulator (agr) Allelic Variants in Cognate Staphylococcus aureus Strain Display Similar Phenotypes
25 Feb 2022
Abstract excerpt
The a ccessory g ene r egulator ( agr ) quorum-sensing system is an important global regulatory system of Staphylococcus aureus and contributes to its pathogenicity. The S. aureus agr system is divided into four agr groups based on the amino acid polymorphisms of AgrB, AgrD, and AgrC. The agr activation is group-specific, resulting in variations in agr activity and pathogenicity among the four agr groups. Strains...
