Staphylococcus aureus is an important zoonotic pathogen that causes a variety of life-threatening diseases. The increasing emergence of drug resistance further complicates the treatment of S. aureus infections. The critical role of alpha-hemolysin (Hla) in virulence renders this toxin an ideal t...detailed
Colonization by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) has been implicated in many infectious and wound healing disorders. This study was performed to characterize the pathogenic role of S. aureus alpha-hemolysin (alpha-toxin) in corneal epithelial wound healing and infectious keratitis in the settin...detailed
