Abstract

PASACHOVA GARZON, J; RAMIREZ MARTINEZ, S  and  MUNOZ MOLINA, L. Staphylococcus aureus: generalities, mechanisms of pathogenicity and cell colonization. Nova [online]. 2019, vol.17, n.32, pp.25-38. ISSN 1794-2470.

Staphylococcus aureus is a microorganism characterized by being the main cause of nosocomial bacteremia in different places of the world, due to the different virulence and pathogenicity factors. One of the most important is the biofilm formation, which greatly favors bacterial resistance. For the adhesion of the biofilm to biotic and abiotic surfaces, the microbial surface components recognizing adhesive matrix molecules (MSCRAMM), these proteins play a key role in host cell colonization and invasion by the bacteria.

Keywords : Staphylococcus aureus; bacterial resistance; biofilm; MSCRAMM; fibronectin binding proteins.
