The length of lipoteichoic acid polymers controls Staphylococcus aureus cell size and envelope integrity

A. Hesser, L. M. Matano, C. R. Vickery, B. M. Wood, A. G. Santiago, H. G. Morris, T. Do, R. Losick, S. Walker

This study shows that controlling the length of lipoteichoic acid (LTA) polymers in Staphylococcus aureus is critical for cell size, envelope integrity, and antibiotic resistance.

Biofilm Formation by Staphylococcus aureus is Triggered by a Drop in the Levels of the Second Messenger cyclic-di-AMP

A. K. Syed, C. R. Vickery, T. Lenhart, E. Llewellyn, S. Walker, R. Losick

This study identifies a drop in cyclic-di-AMP levels as the trigger for biofilm formation in Staphylococcus aureus, mediated through reduced agr expression.
