XerC Is Required for the Repair of Antibiotic- and Immune-Mediated DNA Damage in Staphylococcus aureus
21 Feb 2023
Abstract excerpt
To survive in the host environment, pathogenic bacteria need to be able to repair DNA damage caused by both antibiotics and the immune system. The SOS response is a key bacterial pathway to repair DNA double-strand breaks and may therefore be a good target for novel therapeutics to sensitize bacteria to antibiotics and the immune response. However, the genes required for the SOS response in Staphylococcus aureus...
