Virulence gene regulation by peptides in staphylococci and other Gram-positive bacteria.

R P Novick1, T W Muir.   

Abstract

In staphylococci, autoinducing peptides activate agr. a global regulator of the expression of genes encoding virulence factors and other exoproteins. During the past year, there have been major advances in the structure-function analysis of these peptides and the regulation of a virulence factor by an autoinducing peptide in pneumococci has been demonstrated.
