Cell density control of staphylococcal virulence mediated by an octapeptide pheromone.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 19 Dec 1995

Ji G, Beavis R C, Novick R P

Abstract excerpt

Some bacterial pathogens elaborate and secrete virulence factors in response to environmental signals, others in response to a specific host product, and still others in response to no discernible cue. In this study, we have demonstrated that the synthesis of Staphylococcus aureus virulence factors is controlled by a density-sensing system that utilizes an octapeptide produced by the organism itself. The...
