- Abstract
The article discusses a study which examines the impact of two-component systems (TCs) in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus on susceptibility to antimicrobial agents. The bacterium is capable of producing several virulence factor toxins and exoenzymes such as enterotoxin and toxic shock syndrome toxin (TSST). For the study, researchers used inactivated mutants for 16 TCs. They observed that several TCSs influenced susceptability to oxacillin.
