Staphyloxanthin Biosynthesis and Virulence in <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em>: Emerging Opportunities for Anti-Virulence Therapy

2026-06-04

Abstract excerpt

Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive bacterium responsible for a broad spectrum of human infections. Staphyloxanthin (STX), a golden carotenoid pigment synthesized by the crtOPQMN operon, contributes to S. aureus virulence by enhancing resistance to oxidative stress and promoting immune evasion. STX functions as an antioxidant by scavenging free radicals and neutralizing reactive oxygen species, thereby helpin...
