A Recombinant Clumping Factor A-Containing Vaccine Induces Functional Antibodies to Staphylococcus aureus That Are Not Observed after Natural Exposure
16 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive pathogen that causes devastating disease and whose pathogenesis is dependent on interactions with host cell factors. Staphylococcal clumping factor A (ClfA) is a highly conserved fibrinogen (Fg)-binding protein and virulence factor that contributes to host tissue adhesion and initiation of infection. ClfA is being investigated as a possible component of a staphylococcal...
