macrolide resistance protein
Overview
A Staphylococcus capitis strain with unusual bacteriocin production.
The study identifies two distinct biosynthetic gene clusters in Staphylococcus capitis BN2: one encoding the lantibiotic gallidermin and another encoding a novel non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) gene cluster. These clusters contribute to the strain's ability to inhibit the growth of methicillin-resistant and vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus strains.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus produce antimicrobial substances against members of the skin microbiota in children with atopic dermatitis.
The study identified two bacteriocin gene clusters, aureocin 4181 in MRSA 23ad and epidermicin NI01 in S. epidermidis 84ad, which are involved in the production of antimicrobial substances that inhibit the growth of other staphylococcal species.
