Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the largest health care threats faced by humankind, with a reported mortality rate within the United States greater than that of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and viral hepatitis combined. One of the defining features of S. aureus as a human pathogen is its ability to evade and impair the human immune response through expression of staphylococcal protein A.
