Staphylococcal Protein A, Panton-Valentine Leukocidin and Coagulase Aggravate the Bone Loss and Bone Destruction in Osteomyelitis

Background/Aims: Osteomyelitis is a debilitating infectious disease of the bone which is predominantly caused by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of the S. aureus virulence factors, i.e. protein A (SpA), Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) and co...
