Determining the Presence of Superantigens in Coagulase Negative Staphylococci from Humans

Superantigens (SAgs) are important virulence factors in S. aureus. Recent studies identified their presence in animal coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS). The emergence of human-associated SAg(+) CNS would mark a prodigious shift in virulence capabilities. We examined CNS isolates from healthy hu...
