Abstract

Abstract:

Staphylococcus aureus is an important opportunistic pathogen that causes a variety of infections, which can involve all organs in the body and seriously threat people’s health. The ESAT-6 secretion system widely exists in gram-positive bacteria. Typical ESAT-6 pathway is composed of a gene cluster consisting of esxA, esxB, and nine other molecules in Staphylococcus aureus. ESAT-6/WXG100 protein family secreted by this system plays a critical role in virulence and protective immunity of Staphylococcus aureus. This article reviews research advances in ESAT-6 secretion system in Staphylococcus aureus.

Key words: Staphylococcus aureus, ESAT-6 secretion system, virulence
