A Staphylococcus aureus small RNA is required for bacterial virulence and regulates the expression of an immune-evasion molecule.

Staphylococcus aureus, a pathogen responsible for hospital and community-acquired infections, expresses many virulence factors under the control of numerous regulatory systems. Here we show that one of the small pathogenicity island RNAs, named SprD, contributes significantly to causing disease in a...
