MntC-Dependent Manganese Transport Is Essential for <italic toggle="yes">Staphylococcus aureus</italic> Oxidative Stress Resistance and Virulence

ABSTRACT Staphylococcus aureus is a human pathogen that has developed several approaches to evade the immune system, including a strategy to resist oxidative killing by phagocytes. This resistance is mediated by production of superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes which use manganese as a cofactor. S. a...
