Further studies on antigen variation in Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract

The plating of successive Staphylococcus aureus subcultures of daily transfers proved that discontinuous variation resembling a genetic mutation and selective outgrowth of the variant are responsible for antigen variation. Every subculture of S. aureus, when repeatedly transferred, contained a mixture of cells with original antigen 17 (or 13) and final antigen 1 (or 3) that are relevant for research, serological diagnosis, and epidemiological study of staphylococcal diseases.

CRISPR & Staphylococcus

CRISPR-Cas system enables the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. Staphylococci are associated with life-threatening infections in hospitals, as well as the community. Here is the latest research on how CRISPR-Cas system can be used for treatment of Staphylococcal infections.
