The Staphylococcus aureus accessory gene regulator (agr) is a prototype quorum-sensing system in Gram-positive bacteria and a paradigmatic example of gene regulation by a small regulatory RNA, RNAIII. Using genome-wide transcriptional profiling in the community-associated methicillin-resistant (CA-M...
ORGANISM(S): Staphylococcus aureus 
The success of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) as pathogens is due to a combination of antibiotic resistance with high virulence. However, evolution of the exceptional virulence potential of CA-MRSA is not understood. Our previous study indicated that diffe...

The role of Pantonâ??Valentine leukocidin (PVL) in Staphylococcus aureus pathogenesis is controversial. Here, we show that an unintended point mutation in the agr P2 promoter of S.aureus caused the phenotypes in gene regulation and murine pneumonia attributed to PVL by Labandeiraâ??Rey et al. (Scien...

Staphylococcus aureus agr quorum sensing system and Sa3int temperate phage
Functionality of the accessory gene regulator (agr) quorum sensing system is an important switch promoting either acute or chronic infections, mediated by the notorious opportunistic human and veterinary pathogen Staphylococcus aureus. Spontaneous alterations of the agr system are known to frequentl...

The agr quorum-sensing system clearly links Staphylococcus aureus metabolism to virulence, but little is known about how agr alters metabolism to affect cell survival during severe stress. Recently, we reported that agr activity increases survival of bacteria during treatment with lethal concentrati...

MouR controls the expression of the Listeria monocytogenes Agr system and mediates virulence
RNAseq of exponentially growing cultures of the four agr prototype strains used in the study to investigate if differential expression of regulators interacting with the agr system could explain the differences in AIP sensitivity. Abstract Staphylococcus aureus both colonizes humans and causes seve...
