CcpA Affects Infectivity of Staphylococcus aureus in a Hyperglycemic Environment

CcpA Affects Infectivity of Staphylococcus aureus in a Hyperglycemic Environment

Many bacteria regulate the expression of virulence factors via carbon catabolite responsive elements. In Gram-positive bacteria, the predominant mediator of carbon catabolite repression is the catabolite control protein A (CcpA). Hyperglycemia is a widespread disorder that predisposes individuals to...
