The expression of fibronectin is significantly suppressed in macrophages to exert a protective effect against Staphylococcus aureus infection
BACKGROUND: Fibronectin (Fn) plays a major role in the attachment of Staphylococcus aureus to host cells by bridging staphylococcal fibronectin-binding proteins (FnBPs) and cell-surface integrins. A previous study demonstrated that the phagocytosis of S. aureus by macrophages is enhanced in the pres...
