28 Oct 2020
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus internalization by non-professional phagocytes is considered a main pathogenicity mechanism leading to chronic infections. The well-established mechanism of Staphylococcus aureus internalization is mediated by fibronectin (Fn)-binding proteins (FnBPs), Fn as a bridging molecule and the host cell α 5 β 1 integrin . We previously identified a novel alternative internalization mechanism in...
