RinA controls phage-mediated packaging and transfer of virulence genes in gram-positive bacteria
Phage-mediated transfer of microbial genetic elements plays a crucial role in bacterial life style and evolution. In this study, we identify the RinA family of phage-encoded proteins as activators required for transcription ... -
The role of ArlRS and VraSR in regulating ceftaroline hypersusceptibility in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections are a global health problem. New control strategies, including fifth-generation cephalosporins such as ceftaroline, have been developed, however rare sporadic resistance ... -
Role of biofilm-associated protein bap in the pathogenesis of bovine Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus aureus is a common cause of intramammary infections, which frequently become chronic, associated with the ability of the bacteria to produce biofilm. Here, we report a relationship between the ability to ... -
Role of staphylococcal phage and SaPI integrase in intra- and interspecies SaPI transfer
SaPIbov2 is a member of the SaPI family of staphylococcal pathogenicity islands and is very closely related to SaPIbov1. Typically, certain temperate phages can induce excision and replication of one or more of these islands ... -
RsaI, un ARN régulateur aux multiples facettes, module le métabolisme du pathogène opportuniste Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus aureus est une bactérie commensale retrouvée chez environ 30 % des individus sains dont elle colonise la peau et la muqueuse nasale. Cependant, c’est également une bactérie pathogène opportuniste ... -
Salmonella biofilm development depends on the phosphorylation status of RcsB
The Rcs phosphorelay pathway is a complex signaling pathway involved in the regulation of many cell surface structures in enteric bacteria. In response to environmental stimuli, the sensor histidine kinase (RcsC) ... -
SarA is an essential positive regulator of Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm development
Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm formation is associated with the production of the polysaccharide intercellular adhesin (PIA)--poly-N-acetylglucosamine polysaccharide (PNAG) by the products of the icaADBC operon. ... -
SarA positively controls Bap-dependent biofilm formation in Staphylococcus aureus
The biofilm-associated protein Bap is a staphylococcal surface protein involved in biofilm formation. We investigated the influence of the global regulatory locus sarA on bap expression and Bap-dependent biofilm formation ... -
Sensory deprivation in Staphylococcus aureus
Bacteria use two-component systems (TCSs) to sense and respond to environmental changes. The core genome of the major human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus encodes 16 TCSs, one of which (WalRK) is essential. Here we show ... -
Staphylococcal Bap proteins build amyloid scaffold biofilm matrices in response to environmental signals
Major components of the biofilm matrix scaffold are proteins that assemble to create a unified structure that maintain bacteria attached to each other and to surfaces. We provide evidence that a surface protein present in ... -
Staphylococcus aureus develops an alternative, ica-independent biofilm in the absence of the arlRS two-component system
The biofilm formation capacity of Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates is considered an important virulence factor for the establishment of chronic infections. Environmental conditions affect the biofilm formation capacity ... -
Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity island DNA is packaged in particles composed of phage proteins
Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity islands (SaPIs) have an intimate relationship with temperate staphylococcal phages. During phage growth, SaPIs are induced to replicate and are efficiently encapsidated into special small ... -
Structural mechanism for modulation of functional amyloid and biofilm formation by Staphylococcal Bap protein switch
The Staphylococcal Bap proteins sense environmental signals (such as pH, [Ca2+]) to build amyloid scaffold biofilm matrices via unknown mechanisms. We here report the crystal structure of the aggregation-prone region of ... -
A super-family of transcriptional activators regulates bacteriophage packaging and lysis in Gram-positive bacteria
The propagation of bacteriophages and other mobile genetic elements requires exploitation of the phage mechanisms involved in virion assembly and DNA packaging. Here, we identified and characterized four different families ... -
A systematic evaluation of the two-component systems network reveals that ArlRS is a key regulator of catheter colonization by Staphylococcus aureus
Two-component systems (TCS) are modular signal transduction pathways that allow cells to adapt to prevailing environmental conditions by modifying cellular physiology. Staphylococcus aureus has 16 TCSs to adapt to the ... -
Systematic reconstruction of the complete two-component sensorial network in staphylococcus aureus
In bacteria, adaptation to changes in the environment is mainly controlled through two-component signal transduction systems (TCSs). Most bacteria contain dozens of TCSs, each of them responsible for sensing a different ... -
Towards the identification of the common features of bacterial biofilm development
Los microorganismos pueden vivir y proliferar como células individuales que nadan libremente en el medio o crecer en comunidades multicelulares muy bien organizadas dentro de una matriz que ellas mismas han sintetizado y ... -
Wavelet-based detection of transcriptional activity on a novel Staphylococcus aureus tiling microarray
Background: High-density oligonucleotide microarray is an appropriate technology for genomic analysis, and is particulary useful in the generation of transcriptional maps, ChIP-on-chip studies and re-sequencing of the ...
