Regulation of agr -Dependent Virulence Genes in Staphylococcus aureus by RNAIII from Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci
15 Jun 1998
Abstract excerpt
Many of the genes coding for extracellular toxins, enzymes, and cell surface proteins in Staphylococcus aureus are regulated by a 510-nucleotide (nt) RNA molecule, RNAIII. Transcription of genes encoding secreted toxins and enzymes, including hla (alpha-toxin), saeB (enterotoxin B), tst (toxic shock syndrome toxin 1), and ssp (serine protease), is stimulated, while transcription of genes encoding cell surface...
