Staphylococcus epidermidis, which is a causative pathogen of nosocomial infection, expresses its virulent traits such as biofilm and autolysis regulated by two‐component signal transduction system SaeRS. In this study, theS. epidermidisSaeRS was identified to negatively regulate the expression of genes involved in competence (comF, murF), cytolysis (lrgA), and autolysis (lytS) by DNA microarray or real‐time RT–PCR analysis. In addition,saeRSmutant showed increased competence and higher susceptibility to antibiotics such as penicillin and oxacillin than the wild‐type strain. The study will be helpful for understanding the characterization of the SaeRS inS. epidermidis.
