Abstract excerpt
The Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus infects diverse tissues and causes a wide spectrum of diseases, suggesting that it possesses a repertoire of distinct molecular mechanisms promoting bacterial survival in disparate in vivo environments. Signature-tag transposon mutagenesis screening of a 1520-member library identified numerous S. aureus genetic loci affecting growth and survival in four...
