Abstract
RNAIII from Staphylococcus lugdunensis (RNAIII-sl) in a Staphylococcus aureus agr mutant partially restored the Agr phenotype. A chimeric construct consisting of the 5' end of RNAIII-sl and the 3' end of RNAIII from S. aureus restored the Agr phenotype to a greater extent, suggesting the presence of independent regulatory domains.
