This study identifies SSR42 as a post-transcriptional regulator that stabilizes hla mRNA to enhance hemolysis in Staphylococcus aureus.

This study shows that the transcriptional regulator SigB is crucial for Staphylococcus aureus adaptation to different niches, with SigB-deficient strains evolving in persistent mastitis due to the cost of phenotypic plasticity.

This paper introduces a new N-terminomic method, TAGS-CR, to identify substrates of the S. aureus V8 protease in human neutrophils, revealing 350 targets that modulate neutrophil function and immune response.

This paper identifies SSR42 as a novel regulatory RNA in S. aureus that enhances cytotoxicity and virulence by modulating lukAB expression through RNA-RNA interactions.

This study characterizes the pathogenicity and genomic features of the rare ST3390 MRSA lineage, identifying its hypervirulence and unique genetic traits.
