These bacteria utilize multiple com- protein modification. Pathogenic bacteria, including ponents to defend against the oxidative stress produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus host innate immunity pathways, including ROS-deactivating aureus, use regulatory cysteine oxidation to respond enzymes such as catalase, superoxide dismutase, thioredoxin, to and overcome reactive oxygen species (ROS) and glutaredoxin.
