A Nitric Oxide–Inducible Lactate Dehydrogenase Enables <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> to Resist Innate Immunity
20 Mar 2008
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most successful human pathogens, colonizing 2 billion individuals worldwide and causing invasive infections even in immunocompetent hosts. S. aureus can evade multiple components of host innate immunity, including the antimicrobial radical nitric oxide (NO.) produced by activated phagocytes.
