Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause soft tissue infections but also a frequent of foodborne illnesses. One contributing factor for this food association its high salt tolerance allowing organism to survive commonly used preservation methods. How resistance mediated poorly understood, particularly during long-term exposure. In study, we transposon sequencing (TN-seq) understand how the responses osmotic stressors differ.
