Pulmonary manifestations of Staphylococcus aureus septicemia.
This study includes 140 episodes (138 cases) of Staphylococcus aureus septicemia, made up mostly of community-acquired, nonintravenous drug abuse (nonIVDA) cases. Unlike other series, injury wounds and skin or soft tissue infections were the most common sites of primary infection. In spite of a different patient population and lack of cases with tricuspid valvular endocarditis, the lungs were s...
متن کاملImmunogenicity of toxins during Staphylococcus aureus infection.
BACKGROUND Toxins are important Staphylococcus aureus virulence factors, but little is known about their immunogenicity during infection. Here, additional insight is generated. METHODS Serum samples from 206 S. aureus-infected patients and 201 hospital-admitted control subjects were analyzed for immunoglobulin (Ig) G binding to 20 toxins, using flow-cytometry based technology. Antibody levels...
متن کاملHumanized Mouse Models of Staphylococcus aureus Infection
Staphylococcus aureus is a successful human pathogen that has adapted itself in response to selection pressure by the human immune system. A commensal of the human skin and nose, it is a leading cause of several conditions: skin and soft tissue infection, pneumonia, septicemia, peritonitis, bacteremia, and endocarditis. Mice have been used extensively in all these conditions to identify virulen...
متن کاملPathogenesis of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection.
Staphylococcus aureus is a versatile pathogen capable of causing a wide range of human diseases. However, the role of different virulence factors in the development of staphylococcal infections remains incompletely understood. Some clonal types are well equipped to cause disease across the globe, whereas others are facile at causing disease among community members. In this review, general aspec...
