| Research Abstract |
Diabetic patients are sensitive to infection caused by resident bacteria. However, molecular mechanisms of the resident bacteria for causing severe infectious diseases against diabetic patients are still unknown. In this study, we identified three genes, which were required for virulence of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) against hyperglycemic silkworms. Our findings suggest that bacteria possess specific system for infection against diabetic patients.
