We generated an isogenic mutant in which one of the genes responsible for the biosynthesis of the putative SLS-like toxin was inactivated (JKD::ΔsagB) in order to more precisely determine the role of the presence of this gene cluster in the MRSA JKD6159 strain. cache/sx61dj55j0b.txt txt/sx61dj55j0b.txt
