1 Sept 2011
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus is the leading etiologic agent of implant orthopedic infections. Until recently S. aureus was considered a mere extracellular pathogen; it then turned out to be able to invade eukaryotic cells. Adhesion of S. aureus to peri-prosthesis tissues represents the starting of the infection pathogenesis and the first step of the subsequent internalization of S. aureus by host cells.
