Staphylococcus aureus clumping factor A is a force-sensitive molecular switch that activates bacterial adhesion

Clumping factor A (ClfA), a cell-wall–anchored protein from Staphylococcus aureus, is a virulence factor in various infections and facilitates the colonization of protein-coated biomaterials. ClfA promotes bacterial adhesion to the blood plasma protein fibrinogen (Fg) via molecular forces that have...
