Growth dependent expression of s. aureus mssa476

ABSTRACT: Survival and pathogenesis of Staphylococcus aureus in the host requires the ability to respond to changes. Therefore, tight regulation of gene expression via various regulators is essential. Also, the organization of genes in operons is of influence on the regulation of gene expression. Knowledge of gene expression under different conditions and the ability to accurately predict operons are important steps towards understanding the transcriptional regulation, function and pathogenesis. A whole genome Agilent microarray was developed for the highly virulent, community-acquired MSSA476.During standard growth in a defined medium, we were able to determine four basic gene expression patterns of S. aureus for both virulence and non-virulence genes. In addition, we predicted operon structures
