摘要：

Staphylococcus aureus can colonize the host to initiate infection by adhering to components of the extracellular matrix., Adherence is mediated by surface protein adhesins (MSCRAMMs). Ligand binding by these fibronectin-, fibrinogen- and collagen-binding proteins occurs by distinct mechanisms that are being investigated at the molecular level.
