Extensive re-modelling of the cell wall during the development of Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia

E. J. A. Douglas, N. Palk, T. Brignoli, D. Altwiley, M. Boura, M. Laabei, M. Recker, G. C. Cheung, R. Liu, R. C. Hseih, M. Otto, E. O'Brien, R. M. McLoughlin, R. C. Massey

This study identifies TcaA as a key regulator of cell wall remodeling in Staphylococcus aureus during bacteraemia, enhancing virulence by altering wall teichoic acids and peptidoglycan crosslinking.

Self-sensitisation of Staphylococcus aureus to the antimicrobial factors found in human blood.

E. Douglas, T. Brignoli, M. Recker, E. O'Brien, R. McLoughlin, R. C. Massey

This study identifies genetic factors in Staphylococcus aureus that influence serum survival, revealing how bacterial responses to blood factors affect their transition from commensal to invasive states.
