The adherence characteristics in vivo and virulence of two isogenic strains of Staphylococcus aureus differing in fibronectin binding were compared in a rat model of catheter-induced infective endocarditis. No differences were found between the two strains. The results strongly point to the multifactorial nature of bacterial adherence to damaged heart valves and suggest that other binding functions can compensate for the lack of fibronectin binding in S. aureus.
在导管诱导的感染性心内膜炎大鼠模型中,比较了两株纤维连接蛋白结合能力不同的同源金黄色葡萄球菌菌株在体内的黏附特性和毒力。两株菌株之间未发现差异。结果有力地表明细菌黏附于受损心脏瓣膜具有多因素性质,并提示其他结合功能可弥补金黄色葡萄球菌中纤维连接蛋白结合的缺乏。
