Species-wide phylogenomics of the <i>Staphylococcus aureus agr</i> operon reveals convergent evolution of frameshift mutations

2021-07-30

Abstract excerpt

Staphylococcus aureus is a prominent nosocomial pathogen that causes several life-threatening diseases such as pneumonia and bacteremia. S. aureus modulates expression of its arsenal of virulence factors through sensing and integrating responses to environmental signals. The agr (accessory gene regulator) quorum sensing (QS) system is a major regulator of virulence phenotypes in S. aureus . There are four agr...
