Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus is a globally prevalent gram-positive pathogen that can cause numerous types of infection. Due to host nutritional immunity and iron (Fe) sequestration, S. aureus experiences Fe limitation during infection. To overcome this, S. aureus expresses an arsenal of Fe acquisition systems whose expression is coordinated through the Fe-binding transcriptional regulator, Fur. Here, from a screen to...
