Discovery of an anti-virulence compound that targets the Staphylococcus aureus SaeRS two-component system to inhibit toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 (TSST-1) production

K. Dufresne, D. A. DiMaggio, C. S. Maduta, S. R. Brinsmade, J. K. McCormick

The paper identifies PP-HCl as an anti-virulence compound that inhibits TSST-1 production in S. aureus without affecting bacterial growth or vaginal microbiota.

Vaginal Community State Types (CSTs) Alter Environmental Cues and Production of the Staphylococcus aureus Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin-1 (TSST-1)

C. S. Maduta, J. K. McCormick, K. Dufresne

This study shows that vaginal microbiota community state types (CSTs) influence Staphylococcus aureus TSST-1 production, with L. jensenii inhibiting it and 'unhealthy' CSTs promoting it.

New roles for two-component system response regulators of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi during host cell interactions

C. Murret-Labarthe, M. Kerhoas, K. Dufresne, F. Daigle

This study identifies 32 new phenotypes associated with two-component system response regulators in S. Typhi during host cell interactions, highlighting phenotypic divergence between S. Typhi and S. Typhimurium.
