Staphylococcus aureus and toxic shock syndrome

2016-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome (TSS) was originally described in menstruating women using high-absorbency tampons and linked to toxic shock syndrome toxin (TSST)-1 producing Staphylococcus aureus. Few studies have investigated the pathogenesis and treatment of TSS and contemporary clinical and moleculo-epidemiological descriptions are lacking. Clinical and molecular analysis of 180 TSS referalls to the UK ref...
