C-di-AMP levels modulate <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> cell wall thickness as well as virulence and contribute to antibiotic resistance and tolerance
2023-04-20
Abstract excerpt
Beta-lactam antibiotics are widely used to treat infections caused by the important human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus . Resistance to beta-lactams, as found in methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), renders effective treatment difficult. The second messenger cyclic di-3′,5′- adenosine monophosphate (c-di-AMP) promotes beta-lactam resistance in clinical S. aureus isolates. C-di-AMP plays a crucial role in th...
