Bacterial strains, plasmids and primers used in this study are listed in Supplementary Tables S1, S2, S3. For cloning and genetic manipulation, Escherichia coli was cultivated in LB medium. For stress experiments, S. aureus COL wild type and mutant strains were cultivated in LB, RPMI, or Belitsky minimal medium and exposed to the different compounds during the exponential growth as described previously (Loi et al., 2017 (link), 2018b (link)). NaOCl, methylglyoxal, diamide, methylhydroquinone, DTT, cumene hydroperoxide (80% w/v), H2O2 (35% w/v), and monobromobimane were purchased from Sigma Aldrich.
