Cell differentiation defines acute and chronic infection cell types in Staphylococcus aureus

Cell differentiation defines acute and chronic infection cell types in Staphylococcus aureus

A central question to biology is how pathogenic bacteria initiate acute or chronic infections. Here we describe a genetic program for cell-fate decision in the opportunistic human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus, which generates the phenotypic bifurcation of the cells into two genetically identical b...
