Recombinant production in <i>Escherichia coli</i> of functionally active α-hemolysin from the human pathogen <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>
2025-01-15
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus is a human opportunistic pathogen capable of causing multiple infections in both humans and animals. It secretes a group of exotoxins, known as hemolysins, which are released to enhance its pathogenicity. All of them exhibit cytolytic activity on a variety of host cell types, but α-hemolysin stands out for being the most thoroughly studied variant. In this work, we show the production and pur...
