The Multivalent Role of Fibronectin-Binding Proteins A and B (FnBPA and FnBPB) of Staphylococcus aureus in Host Infections

Abstract excerpt

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most important human pathogens, causing several infectious diseases including sepsis, pneumonia, osteomyelitis, endocarditis, skin and soft tissue infections. This pathogenicity is due to a variety of virulence factors including several cell wall-associated proteins (CWA). CWA proteins have modular structures with distinct domains binding different ligands. Most strains of S....
