A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has offered insight into how Staphylococcus aureus, a major human pathogen, fine-tunes its internal machinery to survive stress and potentially cause infection. The research uncovers new details about the structure and function of a previously understudied nuclease, YhaM, revealing how it regulates cellular machinery and contributes to bacterial virulence, or severity.
