Abstract excerpt
In Staphylococcus aureus, the accessory gene regulator (Agr) system controls the expression of toxins that damage the host. Agr is required for bacterial survival in a range of animal infection models, although its role during bacteraemia is poorly understood. Agr is also important for survival of S. aureus in the presence of neutrophils in vitro, but there is paradoxical clinical evidence that loss of Agr (either...
