Comparative inflammatory properties of staphylococcal superantigenic enterotoxins SEA and SEG: implications for septic shock
2 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
The severity of Staphylococcus aureus sepsis is positively associated with staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) and negatively associated with the enterotoxin gene cluster (egc), which encodes five staphylococcal enterotoxins. We postulated that the variable, clinical severity of S. aureus sepsis might be a result of differences in the inflammatory properties of staphylococcal superantigens. We therefore compared...
