A Functional Menadione Biosynthesis Pathway is Required for Capsule Production by <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>

2021-06-02

Abstract excerpt

Staphylococcus aureus is a major human pathogen that utilises a wide array of pathogenic and immune evasion strategies to cause disease. One immune evasion strategy, common to many bacterial pathogens, is the ability of S. aureus to produce a capsule that protects the bacteria from several aspects of the human immune system. To identify novel regulators of capsule production by S. aureus we applied a genome wide...
