Src kinase has a central role in in vitro cellular internalization of Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract excerpt

Traditionally recognized as an extracellular pathogen, the Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus can also be internalized by a variety of cell types in vitro. Internalization is known to involve binding of the host extracellular protein fibronectin to the bacterium, recognition of the fibronectin-coated bacterium by the fibronectin-binding integrin alpha5beta1 on the host cell surface, and...
