The neutrophil oxidant hypothiocyanous acid causes a thiol-specific stress response and an oxidative shift of the bacillithiol redox potential in Staphylococcus aureus

ABSTRACT During infections, Staphylococcus aureus is exposed to hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hypothiocyanous acid (HOSCN), which are produced by the neutrophil myeloperoxidase as potent antimicrobial killing agents. In this work, we applied RNAseq transcriptomics, Brx-roGFP2 biosensor measurements,...
