The surface of Staphylococcus aureus is decorated with over 20 proteins that are covalently
anchored to peptidoglycan by the action of sortase A. These cell wall-anchored (CWA) …

Staphylococcus aureus is an important opportunistic pathogen and persistently colonizes
about 20% of the human population. Its surface is' decorated'with proteins that are covalently …

Staphylococcus aureus persistently colonizes about 20% of the population and is
intermittently associated with the remainder. The organism can cause superficial skin …

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) causes the vast majority of skin and soft tissue infections
(SSTIs) in humans. S. aureus has become increasingly resistant to antibiotics and there is …

Surface proteins of Staphylococcus aureus are anchored to the cell wall by a mechanism
requiring a COOH-terminal sorting signal. Previous work demonstrated that the sorting …

Surface proteins of Gram‐positive bacteria are covalently linked to the cell wall envelope by
a mechanism requiring an N‐terminal signal peptide and a C‐terminal LPXTG motif sorting …

Surface proteins of Gram-positive bacteria are linked to the bacterial cell wall by a
mechanism that involves cleavage of a conserved Leu-Pro-X-Thr-Gly (LPXTG) motif and that …

Many Gram-positive bacteria covalently tether their surface adhesins to the cell wall
peptidoglycan. We find that surface proteins of Staphylococcus aureus are linked to the cell …

Staphylococcus aureus can colonize the host to initiate infection by adhering to components
of the extracellular matrix. Adherence is mediated by surface protein adhesins …

Staphylococcus aureus sortase anchors surface proteins to the cell wall envelope by
cleaving polypeptides at the LPXTG motif. Surface proteins are linked to the peptidoglycan …
