Beta-lactam antibiotics induce the SOS response and horizontal transfer of virulence factors in Staphylococcus aureus

Antibiotics that interfere with DNA replication and cell viability activate the SOS response. In Staphylococcus aureus, the antibiotic-induced SOS response promotes replication and high-frequency horizontal transfer of pathogenicity island-encoded virulence factors. Here we report that beta-lactams...
