Figure 5From: Staphylococcus aureus immunodominant surface antigen B is a cell-surface associated nucleic acid binding proteinIsaB binds eDNA on the cell surface. S. aureus strains 10833, Sa113, and their isogenic isaB deletion mutants were assayed for their ability to bind to a fluorescently labeled oligonucleotide. The y-axis represents the relative light units. Wildtype fluorescence levels were significantly higher with a probability value of p = 0.006 for 10833 versus 10833ΔisaB::ern and Sa113 versus Sa113ΔisaB::erm (Student's unpaired T test).Back to article page
