Staphylococcus aureus delta toxin modulates both extracellular membrane vesicle biogenesis and amyloid formation

ABSTRACT Staphylococcus aureus secretes phenol-soluble modulins (PSMs), a family of small, amphipathic, secreted peptides with multiple biologic activities. Community-acquired S. aureus strains produce high levels of PSMs in planktonic cultures, and PSM alpha peptides have been shown to augment the...
