Reactive Oxygen Species-Dependent Innate Immune Mechanisms Control Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Virulence in the Drosophila Larval Model

The pathogenicity of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains relies on their ability to produce a wide variety of tightly regulated virulence factors. Current in vivo models to analyze host-pathogen interactions are limited and difficult to manipulate.
