α-hemolysin of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> impairs thrombus formation

2021-11-12

Abstract excerpt

Toxins are key virulence determinants of pathogens and can impair the function of host immune cells including platelets. Insights into pathogen toxin interference with platelets will be pivotal to improve treatment of patients with bacterial bloodstream infections. In this study, we deciphered the effects of Staphylococcus aureus toxins α-hemolysin, LukAB, LukDE and LukSF on human platelets and compared the effec...
