Tandem mobilization of anti-phage defenses alongside SCCmec elements in staphylococci
Nature CommunicationsRecent research has identified multiple immune systems that bacteria use to protect themselves from viral infections. However, little is known about the mechanisms by which these systems horizontally spread, especially among bacterial pathogens. Here, we investigate antiviral defenses in staphylococci, opportunistic pathogens that constitute leading ...

SigmaB regulates ccrAB expression and SCCmec excision in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2016 Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a worldwide pathogen that is resistant to practically the entire class of β-lactam antibiotics due to the presence of the mecA gene. The mecA gene is located on a large mobile genetic element referred to as staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec), and the excision and integration of SCCmec ...
