Staphylococcal Enterotoxins Promote Virulence in Bacterial Keratitis
3 May 2023
Abstract excerpt
Purpose: Staphylococcus aureus is an important cause of corneal infections (keratitis). To better understand the virulence mechanisms mediating keratitis, a recent comparative genomics study revealed that a set of secreted enterotoxins were found with higher prevalence among ocular versus non-ocular S. aureus clinical infection isolates, suggesting a key role for these toxins in keratitis. Although well known to...
