The Expression of von Willebrand Factor-Binding Protein Determines Joint-Invading Capacity of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Staphylococcus aureus</named-content>, a Core Mechanism of Septic Arthritis
ABSTRACT Septic arthritis, one of the most dangerous joint diseases, is predominantly caused by Staphylococcus aureus. In contrast, coagulase-negative staphylococci are rarely found in septic arthritis. We hypothesize that coagulases released by S. aureus, including coagulase (Coa) and von Willebran...

In contrast, coagulase-negative staphylococci are rarely found in septic arthritis.

Four isogenic S. aureus strains differing in expression of coagulases (wild-type [WT] Newman, Δcoa, Δvwb, and Δcoa Δvwb) were used to induce septic arthritis in both wild-type and von Willebrand factor (vWF)-deficient mice. Septic arthritis severity was greatly reduced when wild-type mice were infected with the Δcoa Δvwb and Δvwb variants compared to WT or Δcoa strains, suggesting that vWbp rather than Coa is a major virulence factor in S. aureus septic arthritis. vWF-deficient mice were more susceptible to bone damage in septic arthritis, especially when the Δvwb strain was used. Importantly, no difference in arthritis severity between the Δvwb and WT strains was observed in vWF-deficient mice.
