Structural and functional role of Staphylococcus aureus surface components recognizing adhesive matrix molecules of the host
1 Dec 2009
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus is a versatile and harmful human pathogen in both hospital- and community-acquired infections. S. aureus can initiate host infection by adhering to components of the extracellular matrix. Adherence is mediated by a variety of protein adhesins of the microbial surface component recognizing adhesive matrix molecule (MSCRAMM) family. In this article, we describe these MSCRAMMs in terms of...
