Polymorphism, genetic exchange and intragenic recombination of the aureolysin gene among Staphylococcus aureus strains
BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus aureus expresses several proteases, which are thought to contribute to the virulence of this bacterium. Here we focus on aureolysin, the major thermolysin-like metalloprotease. Despite the importance of aureolysin in the physiology and pathogenesis of S. aureus, relatively...
