The Toxin Antitoxin MazEF Drives <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Chronic Infection

2019-06-30

Abstract excerpt

Staphylococcus aureus is the major organism responsible for surgical implant infections. Antimicrobial treatment of these infections often fails leading to expensive surgical intervention and increased risk of mortality to the patient. The challenge in treating these infections is associated with the high tolerance of S. aureus biofilm to antibiotics. MazEF, a toxin-antitoxin system, is thought to be an important...
