The electron transport chain sensitises <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> and <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> to the oxidative burst

2017-07-19

Abstract excerpt

Small colony variants (SCVs) of Staphylococcus aureus typically lack a functional electron transport chain and cannot produce virulence factors such as leukocidins, hemolysins or the anti-oxidant staphyloxanthin. Despite this, SCVs are associated with persistent infections of the bloodstream, bones and prosthetic devices. The survival of SCVs in the host has been ascribed to intracellular residency, biofilm forma...
