dc.description.abstract | Staphylococcus aureus is an important human pathogen. The ability of S. aureus
to initiate infection is attributed at least partly to the expression of cell wall-associated
proteins known as MSCRAMMs (microbial surface components recognising adhesive
matrix molecules). MSCRAMMs mediate the adherence of S. aureus to a variety of host
ligands such as fibrinogen, fibronectin, collagen, elastin, thrombospondin, vitronectin,
laminin, von Willebrand factor and mucin. This allows the bacterium to establish
infections at various tissue sites and on biomaterial implants that have become coated
with host proteins. | |
