Yarwood JM, McCormick JK, Paustian ML, Orwin PM, Kapur V, Schlievert PM Characterization and expression analysis of Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity island 3. Implications forthe evolution of staphylococcal pathogenicity islands. J Biol Chem 2002 277 13138-13147. [Pg.37]

The situation in staphylococci is somewhat different. The first staphylococcal pathogenicity islands (SaPIs) identified (SaPIs 1,2, and 3) were discovered because of their carriage of the genes for toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) and other superantigens. They were soon found to be highly mobile, owing to their relationship with certain phages [3]. The SaPIs are inserted at specific... [Pg.42]

Staphylococcal superant en-like (SSL) protein 7 is a 23 kDa protein that belongs to a family of 11 different SSLs that are clustered on staphylococcal pathogenicity island 2 (Sapln2). SSL7 binds to %A but also prevents formation of the MAC via specific binding to C5. SSL7 binding to C5 possibly also prevents formation of C5a which seems more important for clearance of S. aureus because its thick cell wall renders it resistant to MAC-mediated lysis. [Pg.36]
