The vSa\(\alpha\) Specific Lipoprotein Like Cluster (lpl) of S. aureus USA300 Contributes to Immune Stimulation and Invasion in Human Cells

All Staphylococcus aureus genomes contain a genomic island, which is termed vSa\(\alpha\) and characterized by two clusters of tandem repeat sequences, i.e. the exotoxin (set) and 'lipoprotein-like' genes (lpl). Based on their structural similarities the vSa\(\alpha\) islands have been cla...
