To evaluate potential pathomechanisms in the induction of infective endocarditis (IE), 34
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) isolates, collected from patients with S. aureus …

Infective endocarditis (IE) is a life-threatening disease, caused by septic vegetations and
inflammatory foci on the surface of the endothelium and the valves. Due to its complex and …

Staphylococci sp. are the most commonly associated pathogens in infective endocarditis,
especially within high-income nations. This along with the increasing burden of healthcare …

Aims The pathogenesis of endocarditis is not well understood resulting in unsuccessful
attempts at prevention. Clinical observations suggest that Staphylococcus aureus infects …

The pathogenesis of Staphylococcus aureus infective endocarditis (IE) is postulated to
involve invasion and damage of endothelial cells (ECs). However, the precise relationships …

Animal models of Staphylococcus aureus infective endocarditis (IE), especially in rodents,
are commonly used to investigate the underlying pathogenesis, disease progression …

Animal models of infective endocarditis (IE) induced by high-grade bacteremia revealed the
pathogenic roles of Staphylococcus aureus surface adhesins and platelet aggregation in the …

Objectives We aimed at determining whether specific S. aureus strains cause infective
endocarditis (IE) in the course of Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB). Methods A …

The objective was to study potential bacterial virulence factors in S. aureus endocarditis. S.
aureus strains isolated from patients with well‐classified episodes of infective endocarditis …

Pathogenic factors of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) in the development of infective
endocarditis (IE) have not been sufficiently investigated. The purpose of this study was to …
