However, this species can also cause disease in humans when an appropriate opportunity arises, such as a cut or some other breakdown in our body's defenses. S. aureus is able to initiate infections due, in part, to the diverse group of toxins that they secrete. The exotoxins produced by S. aureus can cause direct damage, thwart our own body's defenses, or trigger massive amounts of cytokines that lead to indirect damage within the human body. In this book are 12 research articles that deal with different aspects of staphylococcal exotoxins. Some of the work gives an overview about how the toxins contribute to the disease process. Other articles discuss different aspects of several exotoxins, and two articles are centered on countermeasures against S. aureus infections. Overall, this book will give the reader a good overview of how staphylococcal exotoxins contribute to initiating and sustaining infections in humans. 606 $aBiology, life sciences$2bicssc 610 $aHigBA 610 $acell physiology 610 $aairway epithelial cells 610 $aPPIase 610 $aatopic dermatitis 610 $aadaptive immunity 610 $astaphylococcal enterotoxin 610 $asortase A 610 $acanned meat 610 $ainhibitor 610 $ainnate immunity 610 $alow cytotoxic strains 610 $aStaphylococcus aureus 610 $ain vivo models 610 $atoxin neutralization 610 $aenterotoxin 610 $aLukGH 610 $aPSMs 610 $amicrobiome 610 $aeye 610 $amolecular mechanism 610 $achronic infection 610 $agene regulation 610 $atoxins 610 $aalpha-toxin 610 $asuperantigen-like protein 610 $afermentation 610 $aerianin 610 $aPpiB 610 $aHACCP 610 $ainfection 610 $aenzymes 610 $amethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus 610 $avirulence factor 610 $aenterotoxins 610 $amouse abscess 610 $atoxin-antitoxin systems 610 $aS. aureus 610 $apolyclonal antibody 610 $adefined minimal medium 610 $amastitis 610 $abutyric acid derivative 610 $aLukAB 610 $atoxoid vaccine 610 $asuperantigen 610 $apathogenicity islands 610 $aPrsA 610 $asphingomyelin 610 $aLeukocidin 610 $alux fusion 615 7$aBiology, life sciences 700 $aSchwan$b William$01326364 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910367566703321 996 $aStaphylococcus aureus Toxins$93037381 997 $aUNINA
