The role of fibronectin binding proteins in the pathogenesis of Staphylococcus aureus infections
1 Jun 2003
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Staphylococcus aureus produces two closely-related fibronectin-binding proteins (FnBPs) that facilitate attachment by this versatile pathogen. Recent studies of staphylococcal FnBP have increased our understanding of the molecular mechanisms that are critical in bacterial-host cell interactions and in infection. RECENT FINDINGS: This review will summarize current knowledge of the role of the...
