Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of bloodstream infections causing an estimated 300,000 deaths worldwide. Using a functional genomics approach, our group previously identified that adaptation of S. aureus to human serum is polygenic, with a clinically occurring non-synonymous mutation (V76I) in dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (lpdA1/pdhD) improving bacterial survival. In this work, we establish that...
