摘要
Fibronectin-binding protein A plays an important role in Staphylococcus aureus endovascular infections. We characterized the sigB-saeRS-fnbA expression network with fibronectin binding in vitro and in an experimental infective endocarditis (IE) model using parental strains RN6390 and SH1000 and their respective isogenic saeRS mutants. In contrast to the in vitro data, there was no influence of saeRS on fnbA expression in the IE model, yet ex vivo fibronectin binding was reduced in saeRS mutants. Moreover, as opposed to the in vitro findings, sigB appeared to have a positive rather than a negative effect on saeRS expression within cardiac vegetations.
