The 1.25-Å structure of the complement component C3–inhibitory domain of Staphylococcus aureus extracellular fibrinogen-binding protein (Efb-C) demonstrated a helical motif involved in ...

However, we lack critical information about the structure and mechanism of many of them. In an effort to reduce that gap, we have determined three different crystal structures of the enzyme CapE of ...

To understand the molecular basis of this process, we have determined the 3.0 Å crystal structure of a bacterial ABC transporter (Sav1866) from Staphylococcus aureus. The homodimeric protein ...

What makes S. aureus so dangerous? The virulence of S. aureus lies in its ability to adapt to environmental pressures and immune defenses quickly. A central feature of its survival strategy is the ...

aureus or staph will also kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as MRSA. Nearly all Staphylococcus infections can be cured with antibiotics. Some strains of Staphylococcus have developed ...
