Determining the importance of the stringent response for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus virulence using a zebrafish model of infection

N. R. Choudhury, L. Urwin, B. Salamaga, L. Prince, S. Renshaw, R. M. Corrigan

This study uses a zebrafish model to show that the stringent response, mediated by (p)ppGpp synthetases, is critical for S. aureus virulence and survival within host phagocytes.

The roles of GpsB and DivIVA in Staphylococcus aureus growth and division

J. A. F. Sutton, M. Cooke, M. Tinajero-Trejo, K. Wacnik, B. Salamaga, C. Portman-Ross, V. A. Lund, J. K. Hobbs, S. J. Foster

This study investigates the roles of DivIVA and GpsB in S. aureus cell cycle and morphogenesis, finding that GpsB regulates cell shape by affecting peptidoglycan synthesis.
