We did not find any correlation between agr group and endocarditis, as previously reported.

We hypothesized that increased expression of agr represents a mechanistically relevant component of this process.

Accessory gene regulator (agr) type within the bacteria did not affect disease presentation.

In four children there was a shift between visits in agr group of colonizing clones.

This result was confirmed with defined agr mutants and by inhibition of agr with quorum-sensing blockers.

It will be one of the main agr

Change of clones belonging to the same agr group was not associated with a higher SCORAD value.

The agr class and cap types correlated with pulsotype clusters rather than with a specific host species.

Forty-nine percent of the isolates had staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec II, and 56% had agr II.

In the present paper, we have shown that the oxygen-independent reducing properties of L. lactis contribute to agr downregulation.

Evaluation of agr activity by qRT-PCR showed an increase in activity during growth in wound models for most strains.

On the other hand, a correlation between some of the PFGE clusters with a certain agr group was found.

We are about to agr

Te agrHH his is still far from ideal and he is not overly optimistic about the language's chances of survival.

Individual S. aureus clonal types were identified and examined for production of superantigens, toxins, and were assigned to agr groups.

Remarkably, the agr system was downregulated by the presence of L. lactis, in part because of the decrease in pH.
