Molecular characterization of the interaction of staphylococcal microbial surface components recognizing adhesive matrix molecules (MSCRAMMS) ClfA and Fbl with fibrinogen
(2010)
The ligand binding domain of the fibrinogen binding protein from Staphylococcus lugdunensis (Fbl) shares 60% sequence identity with clumping factor A (ClfA) of Staphylococcus aureus. Recombinant Fbl corresponding to the ...
Beta-neurexin is a ligand for the Staphylococcus aureus MSCRAMM SdrC
(2010)
Gram-positive bacteria contain a family of surface proteins that are covalently anchored to the cell wall of the organism. These cell-wall anchored (CWA) proteins appear to play key roles in the interactions between ...
Fibrinogen binding sites P336 and Y338 of clumping factor A are crucial for Staphylococcus aureus virulence.
(2008)
We have earlier shown that clumping factor A (ClfA), a fibrinogen binding surface protein of Staphylococcus aureus, is an important virulence factor in septic arthritis. When two amino acids in the ClfA molecule, P336 and ...
The Staphylococcus aureus "superbug"
(2004)
There has been some debate about the disease-invoking potential of Staphylococcus aureus strains and whether invasive disease is associated with particularly virulent genotypes, or "superbugs." A study in this issue of the ...
A potential new pathway for Staphylococcus aureus dissemination: silent survival of S.aureus phagocytosed by human monocyte-derived macrophages.
(2008)
Although considered to be an extracellular pathogen, Staphylococcus aureus is able to invade a variety of mammalian, non-professional phagocytes and can also survive engulfment by professional phagocytes such as neutrophils ...
