Phenol-soluble modulins, hellhounds from the staphylococcal virulence-factor pandemonium

Eleni Tsompanidou et al. Trends Microbiol. 2013 Jul.

Abstract

Phenol-soluble modulins are secreted peptides with multiple functions in Staphylococcus aureus pathogenesis and spreading. Recent studies by Otto and coworkers show that these hellhounds of the staphylococcal virulence-factor pandemonium are unleashed through an essential ABC transporter, which represents an exciting new target for stopping the spread of this important pathogen.
