Mobile-Genetic-Element-Encoded Hypertolerance to Copper Protects <named-content content-type="genus-species">Staphylococcus aureus</named-content> from Killing by Host Phagocytes
ABSTRACT Pathogens are exposed to toxic levels of copper during infection, and copper tolerance may be a general virulence mechanism used by bacteria to resist host defenses. In support of this, inactivation of copper exporter genes has been found to reduce the virulence of bacterial pathogens in vi...
