Initial elimination of invading Staphylococcus aureus from the body is mediated by
professional phagocytes. The neutrophil is the major phagocyte of the innate immunity and …

The biological diversity of the unicellular bacteria—whether assessed by shape, food,
metabolism, or ecological niche—surely rivals (if not exceeds) that of the multicellular …

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a frequent cause of difficult-to-treat,
often fatal infections in humans,. Most humans have antibodies against S. aureus, but these …

Staphylococcus aureus is a major opportunistic human pathogen that frequently causes
disease in community and hospital settings. Nasal colonization is an important risk factor for …

Antibodies are potent components of the immune repertoire and have been successfully
exploited to treat bacterial infections. Recently an antibody–antibiotic conjugate (AAC) that …

Staphylococcus epidermidis expresses glycerol phosphate wall teichoic acid (WTA), but
some health care–associated methicillin-resistant S. epidermidis (HA-MRSE) clones …

Targeted delivery of vaccines to the spleen remains a challenge. Inspired by the
erythrophagocytotic process in the spleen, we herein report that intravenous administration …

The species-and clone-specific susceptibility of Staphylococcus cells for bacteriophages is
governed by the structures and glycosylation patterns of wall teichoic acid (WTA) …

Many Staphylococcus aureus have lost a major genetic barrier against phage infection,
termed clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats (CRISPR/cas). Hence, S. aureus …

Nasal colonization by the human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus is a major risk factor for
hospital-and community-acquired infections. A key factor required for nasal colonization is a …
