beta-Lactam resistance in Staphylococcus aureus limits treatment options. Stp1 and Stk1, a serine-threonine phosphatase and kinase, respectively, mediate serine-threonine kinase (STK) signaling. Loss-of-function point mutations in stp1 were detected among laboratory-passaged beta-lactam-resistant S. aureus strains lacking mecA and blaZ, the major determinants of beta-lactam resistance in the bacteria. Loss of Stp1 function facilitates beta-lactam resistance of the bacteria.
