The staphylococcal accessory regulator SarA and the alternative sigma factor {sigma}B have been previously identified as positive regulators, and IcaR as a negative regulator, of icaADBC expression. Here, we show that in Staphylococcus aureus SarA and {sigma}B are also required for icaR expression and that IcaR does not have a significant effect on its own expression.
