Lipase-mediated detoxification of host-derived antimicrobial fatty acids by <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>
2023-05-15
Abstract excerpt
Long-chain fatty acids with antimicrobial properties are abundant on the skin and mucosal surfaces, where they are essential to restrict the proliferation of opportunistic pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus . These antimicrobial fatty acids (AFAs) elicit bacterial adaptation strategies, which have yet to be fully elucidated. Characterizing the pervasive mechanisms used by S. aureus to resist AFAs could open...
