Role of SarA in Staphylococcus aureus: A Virulence Target For Therapeutic Strategies by Yi He Kuai, Jodi Woan-Fei Law, Yong Sze Ong, Vengadesh Letchumanan, Learn-Han Lee, Loh Teng-Hern Tan

“…In this review, we present an overview of the current understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of sarA gene expression, with a particular emphasis on its relevance in the development and sustenance of antimicrobial resistance, along with in the processes of biofilm formation and activation of virulence genes in MRSA. This review demonstrated that suppressing the expression of sarA gene exerts a notable impact on both biofilm development and the pathogenicity of MRSA strains, thereby offering a hopeful approach to the efficient management and treatment of MRSA infections. …”
