Immune Cell Activation by Enterotoxin Gene Cluster (egc)-Encoded and Non-egc Superantigens from Staphylococcus aureus

1 Oct 2008

Abstract excerpt

The species Staphylococcus aureus harbors 19 superantigen gene loci, six of which are located in the enterotoxin gene cluster (egc). Although these egc superantigens are far more prevalent in clinical S. aureus isolates than non-egc superantigens, they are not a prominent cause of toxic shock. Moreover, neutralizing Abs against egc superantigens are very rare, even among carriers of egc-positive S. aureus...
