Staphylococcal DNA repair is required for infection
2020-02-25
Abstract excerpt
The repair of DNA damage is essential for bacterial viability and contributes to adaptation via increased rates of mutation and recombination. However, the mechanisms by which DNA is damaged and repaired during infection are poorly understood. Using a panel of transposon mutants, we identified the rexBA operon as important for the survival of Staphylococcus aureus in whole human blood. Mutants lacking rexB were...
