Elucidating the Impact of Bacterial Lipases, Human Serum Albumin, and FASII Inhibition on the Utilization of Exogenous Fatty Acids by Staphylococcus aureus

E. L. Pruitt, R. Zhang, D. H. Ross, N. K. Ashford, X. Chen, F. Alonzo, M. F. Bush, B. J. Werth, L. Xu

This study investigates how Staphylococcus aureus utilizes exogenous fatty acids through lipases, human serum albumin, and FASII inhibition, showing effects on lipid composition, membrane fluidity, and antimicrobial susceptibility.

Lipidomic and Ultrastructural Characterization of Cell Envelope of Staphylococcus aureus Grown in the Presence of Human Serum

K. M. Hines, G. Alvarado, X. Chen, C. Gatto, A. Pokorny, F. Alonzo, B. J. Wilkinson, L. Xu

This study characterizes how human serum affects the lipid composition and cell envelope structure of Staphylococcus aureus, showing serum lipids associate with the cell surface but are not fully integrated into the membrane.

Control of Staphylococcus aureus quorum sensing by a membrane-embedded peptidase

C. J. Cosgriff, C. R. White, W. P. Teoh, J. P. Grayczyk, F. Alonzo

This study identifies MroQ, a membrane-embedded peptidase that regulates Staphylococcus aureus quorum sensing by processing AIP signals, thereby affecting virulence factor production.
