Staphylococcus aureus Pathogenesis: The Importance of Reduced Cytotoxicity.

Abstract:

:Toxin production clearly contributes to the pathogenesis of Staphylococcus aureus, but that does not mean it is always in the best interest of the pathogen. Indeed, the ability to limit toxin production may provide an important mechanism for persistence, dissemination, and development of invasive disease within an individual human host.

  • Exploration into the spatial and temporal mechanisms of bacterial polarity.

    abstract::The recognition of bacterial asymmetry is not new: the first high-resolution microscopy studies revealed that bacteria come in a multitude of shapes and sometimes carry asymmetrically localized external structures such as flagella on the cell surface. Even so, the idea that bacteria could have an inherent overall pola...
