High density lipoproteins mediate in vivo protection against staphylococcal phenol-soluble modulins
Abstract Staphylococcus aureus virulence has been associated with the production of phenol-soluble modulins (PSMs). These PSMs have distinct virulence functions and are known to activate, attract and lyse neutrophils. These PSM-associated biological functions are inhibited by lipoproteins in vitro....
