The stringent response is initiated by rapid (p)ppGpp synthesis, which leads to a profound reprogramming of gene expression in most bacteria. The stringent phenotype seems to be species specific and may be mediated by fundamentally different molecular mechanisms. In Staphylococcus aureus, (p)ppGpp s...

Changes in transcriptome of S. aureus linked with acquisition of teicoplanin resistance and reduced autolysis. Comparison of RNA profiling of the teicoplanin-susceptible parental strain (MRGR3)with its teicoplanin-resistant derivative (14-4).

Female mosquitoes fed with blood infected with two alternative P. berghei strains: wild type (wt) or an invasion-deficient, CTRP (Circumsporozoite- and TRAP-related protein) knockout (ko) strain. We used CTRPko-infected midguts as reference, as they experience pre-invasion conditions similar to thos...

Biofilm formation is considered the most important factor involved in pathogenicity of Staphylococcus epidermidis.We investigated the role of two-component signal transduction system (TCS) srrAB, which was up-regulated under micro-aerobic condition, in the growth and biofilm formation of S. epidermi...

In the present study we analyzed the response of S. aureus to mupirocin, the drug of choice for nasal decolonization of S. aureus. Mupirocin selectively inhibits the bacterial isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase (IleRSs) leading to the accumulation of uncharged isoleucyl-tRNA and hence (p)ppGpp. The latter is...

In Staphylococcus aureus, the role of the GGDEF domain containing protein GdpS remains poorly understood. Previous studies reported that gdpS mutant strains had decreased biofilm formation due to changes in icaADBC expression that were independent of cyclic-di-GMP levels. We deleted gdpS in three un...

Overnight cultures of wild type COL or the bshA mutant were back-diluted to an O.D.650 of 0.1 in 30 mL of TSB. The cells were grown at 37C with shaking in a 300mL flask until they reached an O.D.650 of 1.1. The cells were then equally separated into 50mL Falcon tubes, so that each tube had 10mL of c...

We used phylogenetic low-density microarrays targeting the 16S rRNA gene to characterize the gingival flora of acute noma and acute necrotizing gingivitis lesions, and compared them to healthy control subjects of the same geographical and social background. Various types of samples were collected (c...

CodY is a conserved regulator in gram-positive organisms described to repress metabolic genes mainly involved in nitrogen metabolism but also to control the expression of virulence genes in pathogens. We constructed codY gene-replacement mutants in three unrelated S. aureus strains (Newman, UAMS-1, ...
