Serine-threonine phosphoregulation by PknB and Stp contributes to quiescence and antibiotic tolerance in Staphylococcus aureus
3 Jan 2023
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus can cause infections that are often chronic and difficult to treat, even when the bacteria are not antibiotic resistant because most antibiotics act only on metabolically active cells. Subpopulations of persister cells are metabolically quiescent, a state associated with delayed growth, reduced protein synthesis, and increased tolerance to antibiotics. Serine-threonine kinases and...
