pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes, are highly potent …

Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes are gram-positive bacteria that
possess great pathogenic potential in humans, causing numerous maladies such as …

Superantigens (SAGs) interact with host immune receptors to induce a massive release of
inflammatory cytokines that can lead to toxic shock syndrome and death. Bacterial SAGs can …

Staphylococcus aureus superantigens (SAgs) are among the most potent T cell mitogens
known. They stimulate large fractions of T cells by cross-linking their T cell receptor with …

Staphylococcal enterotoxins are a wide family of bacterial exotoxins with the capacity to
activate as much as 20% of the host T cells, which is why they were called superantigens …

Superantigens (SAgs) are a class of immunostimulatory exotoxins that activate large
numbers of T cells, leading to overproduction of cytokines and subsequent inflammatory …
