Transcriptional Profiling of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Staphylococcus aureus</named-content> During Growth in 2 M NaCl Leads to Clarification of Physiological Roles for Kdp and Ktr K<sup>+</sup> Uptake Systems

ABSTRACT Staphylococcus aureus exhibits an unusually high level of osmotolerance and Na+ tolerance, properties that support survival in various host niches and in preserved foods. The genetic basis of these traits is not well understood. We compared the transcriptional profiles of S. aureus grown in...
