Key role for clumping factor B in Staphylococcus aureus nasal colonization of humans.
(2008)
Staphylococcus aureus permanently colonizes the vestibulum nasi of one-fifth of the human population, which is a risk factor for autoinfection. The precise mechanisms whereby S. aureus colonizes the nose are still unknown. ...
The role of Staphylococcus aureus surface protein SasG in adherence and biofilm formation
(2007)
Staphylococcus aureus colonizes the moist squamous epithelium of the anterior nares. One of the adhesins likely to be responsible is the S. aureus surface protein G (SasG), which has sequence similarity with the proteins ...
Complement regulator C4BP binds to Staphylococcus aureus surface proteins SdrE and Bbp inhibiting bacterial opsonization and killing.
(2013)
Staphylococcus aureus is a premier human pathogen and the most common cause of osteoarticular, wound, and implanted device infections. We recently demonstrated S. aureus efficiently binds the classical complement regulator ...
Sequence diversity in the A domain of Staphylococcus aureus fibronectin-binding protein A.
(2008)
Background: Fibronectin-binding protein A (FnBPA) mediates adhesion of Staphylococcus aureus
to fibronectin, fibrinogen and elastin. We previously reported that S. aureus strain P1 encodes an
FnBPA protein where the ...
Protein-based biofilm matrices in Staphylococci.
(2014)
Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis are the most important etiological agents of biofilm associated-infections on indwelling medical devices. Biofilm infections may also develop independently of indwelling ...
Fibronectin-binding protein B variation in Staphylococcus aureus
(2010)
Background:
Fibronectin binding proteins A and B (FnBPA and FnBPB) mediate adhesion of S.aureus to fibrinogen, elastin and fibronectin. We previously identified seven different isotopes of FnBPA based on divergence in the ...
