Systematic Reconstruction of the Complete Two-Component Sensorial Network in <named-content content-type="genus-species">Staphylococcus aureus</named-content>

ABSTRACT In bacteria, adaptation to changes in the environment is mainly controlled through two-component signal transduction systems (TCSs). Most bacteria contain dozens of TCSs, each of them responsible for sensing a different range of signals and controlling the expression of a repertoire of targ...
