A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences has identified a previously uncharacterized 5-gene operon in the genome of Staphylococcus aureus, a Gram-Positive Bacteria. This operon encodes factors related to polysaccharide biosynthesis and export, suggesting the presence of a new extracellular polysaccharide species. The researchers named this locus "ssc" for staphylococcal surface carbohydrate. The study also found that the expression of the ssc genes in S. aureus affected phage adsorption and susceptibility, indicating that Ssc is surface-exposed. This research was supported by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. [Extracted from the article] |
