Biotin, which functions as an essential cofactor for certain carboxylases and decarboxylases, is synthesized by a multistep pathway in microorganisms and plants. Biotin biosynthesis has not been studied in detail in mycobacteria. In this study, we isolated a mutant of Mycobacterium marinum in which MMAR_2770, a previously uncharacterized gene encoding a predicted short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase,...
Infections caused by the leading nosocomial pathogen Staphylococcus epidermidis are characterized by biofilm formation on implanted medical devices. However, the molecular basis of biofilm formation and its regulation are not completely understood. Here, we describe an important role of the ClpP protease in biofilm development and virulence of S. epidermidis. We constructed an isogenic clpP mutant...
