The oxidative stress regulator, PerR, is required for staphyloferrin B-mediated iron acquisition in Staphylococcus aureus
The importance of the PerR function to S. aureus was highlighted by examination of over 8,000 human bloodstream isolates of S. aureus, showing that the PerR sequence was highly conserved, and these findings demonstrate the importance of PerR in providing an additional level of regulation of Fe homeostasis beyond Fur-de...
