The accessory gene regulator (agr) quorum-sensing system in Staphylococcus aureus plays a prominent role in acute infections caused by this common pathogen. In contrast, ATP synthase affects the ability of S. aureus to establish chronic infections and persist as small colony variants. In this study, we report that a...
