Staphylococcus aureus proteins Sbi and Efb recruit human plasmin to degrade complement C3 and C3b.

Upon host infection, the human pathogenic microbe Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) immediately faces innate immune reactions such as the activated complement system. Here, a novel innate immune evasion strategy of S. aureus is described. The staphylococcal proteins surface immunoglobulin-binding pr...
