Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of bacterial arthritis, which often results in severe joint damage. CNA, a collagen adhesin of S. aureus, was shown to be a virulence factor in several animal models. However, the precise molecular mechanism by which CNA contributes to virulence remains unclear.
