Cell-Surface Phenol Soluble Modulins Regulate Staphylococcus aureus Colony Spreading.

Cell-Surface Phenol Soluble Modulins Regulate Staphylococcus aureus Colony Spreading.

Staphylococcus aureus produces phenol-soluble modulins (PSMs), which are amphipathic small peptides with lytic activity against mammalian cells. We previously reported that PSMα1-4 stimulate S. aureus colony spreading, the phenomenon of S. aureus colony expansion on the surface of soft agar plates,...
