Antibodies to Coagulase of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> crossreact to Efb and reveal different binding of shared Fibrinogen binding repeats
2022-04-04
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus pathology is caused by a plethora of virulence factors able to combat multiple host defence mechanisms. Fibrinogen (Fg), a critical component in the host coagulation cascade, plays an important role in the pathogenesis of this bacterium, as it is the target of multiple staphylococcal virulence proteins. Amongst its secreted virulence factors, Coagulase (Coa) and Extracellular fibrinogen-bindi...
