Capsular polysaccharide (CP) biosynthesis in Staphylococcus aureus is tightly controlled resulting in a heterogeneous phenotype within a population and CP being mainly detectable in nongrowing cells. Expression of the corresponding biosynthesis gene cluster is driven by one promoter element (Pcap). Here, we demonstrate that Pcap contains a main SigB‐dependent promoter. The SigB consensus motif overlaps...
Bacteria respond to ever‐changing environments through several adaptive strategies. This includes mechanisms leading to a high degree of phenotypic variability within a genetically homogeneous population. In Staphylococcus aureus, the capsular polysaccharide (CP) protects against phagocytosis, but also impedes adherence to endothelial cells and/or matrix proteins. We analysed the regulation of core...
