Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus produces various hemolysins regulated by the Agr-QS system, except β-hemolysin encoded by the gene hlb. A classical laboratory S. aureus strain RN4220 displays only the β-hemolysin phenotype. It was suspected that the 8A mutation at the end of its agrA gene delayed the expressions of hla and RNAIII, then failed to express α- and δ-hemolysins. However, hla gene expression was detected at the...
