The Spl Serine Proteases Modulate <named-content content-type="genus-species">Staphylococcus aureus</named-content> Protein Production and Virulence in a Rabbit Model of Pneumonia

ABSTRACT The Spl proteases are a group of six serine proteases that are encoded on the νSaβ pathogenicity island and are unique to Staphylococcus aureus. Despite their interesting biochemistry, their biological substrates and functions in virulence have been difficult to elucidate. We found that an...
