A single transcriptional regulator is crucial for the adaptation of Staphylococcus aureus to diverse niches

Abstract Adaptation of bacterial pathogens to new hosts often involves the exchange of mobile genetic elements, or generally the highly variable accessory genome. However, adaptation to different niches is often plastic, mediated by conserved pathways in the core genome. The general stress response of most Gram-positiv...
