From: The heme sensing response regulator HssR in Staphylococcus aureus but not the homologous RR23 in Listeria monocytogenes modulates susceptibility to the antimicrobial peptide plectasin

Figure 2

Growth of S. aureus 8325-4 (A) and 15981 (B) wild types and hssR mutants in the presence of plectasin. Plectasin (35 μg/ml) inhibited the growth of S. aureus 8325-4 and 15981 wild-types but hardly affected the growth of the 8325-4 hssR::bursa transposon mutant, the transduced 8235-4 hssR mutant or the 15981 ΔTCS15 (hssRS) mutant. Complementation of 8325-4 hssR::bursa (8325-4 hssR::bursa/pRMC2-hssRS) affected the growth slightly, but addition of plectasin inhibited the growth to a level comparable to wild type. The experiment shown is representative of three independent experiments.
