Abstract excerpt
Risk factors for Staphylococcus aureus infections in patients undergoing hemodialysis include underlying disease, material-induced host defects, and the presence of vascular access catheters. To determine the specific contribution of various potentially adsorbed plasma components in promoting S aureus adhesion to shunt tubing during chronic hemodialysis, we quantified their respective amounts by Western...
