Received 1 November 1999/Accepted 21 January 2000

Deletion analysis of the promoter for the Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin D determinant indicated that a 52-bp sequence, from -34 to +18, was sufficient for sed promoter function and agr regulation. A consensus -10 Pribnow box sequence, a less conserved -35 sequence, and a TG dinucleotide motif were present. Transcribed sequences (+1 to +18) are essential for promoter activity.
