Apoptosis stimulated by bacterial toxins is common during infection and is now considered
important in disease processes. As a major human pathogen, Staphylococcus aureus also …

Infections with Staphylococcus aureus, a common inducer of septic and toxic shock, often
result in tissue damage and death of various cell types. Although S. aureus was suggested …

Recent data suggest that α-toxin, the major hemolysin of Staphylococcus aureus, induces
cell death via the classical apoptotic pathway. Here we demonstrate, however, that although …

Staphylococcus aureus is a very common Gram-positive bacterium, and S. aureus infections
play an extremely important role in a variety of diseases. This paper describes the types of …

Staphylococcus aureus infections can result in septic and toxic shock with depletion of
immune cells and massive cytokine production. Recently, we showed that, in S. aureus …

Staphylococcus aureus is a clinically important pathogen that causes a wide range of
human infections, from minor skin infections to severe tissue infection and sepsis. S. aureus …

Staphylococcus aureus is a microorganism resident in the skin and nasal membranes with a
dreadful pathogenic potential to cause a variety of community and hospital-acquired …

Staphylococcus aureus infections can result in sepsis and septic shock associated with
vascular damage and multiple organ failure. Apoptosis appears to play a key role during …

Staphylococcus aureus causes suppurative infections which are often associated with tissue
destruction and cell death. In the present study, we investigated the molecular and cellular …

The internalization of Staphylococcus aureus by cultured human umbilical vein endothelial
cells was recently shown to induce apoptosis. We examined the role of α-Toxin, a major …
