Abstract
The 3' end of rsbU, encoding the positive regulator of the stress factor sigma B, was identified as a hot spot for spontaneous IS256 insertion in Staphylococcus aureus SA137/93G. Interestingly, subinhibitory concentrations of chloramphenicol in combination with heat stress, as well as linezolid and spectinomycin at physiological temperatures, selected for such rsbU::IS256 insertion mutants. In consequence of the inactivation of rsbU, the IS256 transposition frequency was increased 4-fold in S. aureus HG001.Entities:
