Immunology, 1975 Mice were protected against the dermonecrotic effects of Staphylococcus aureus by previous infection with either coagulase-positive or coagulase-negative strains or by immunization with alpha-toxin. Passive protection was conferred by serum from previously infected mice or by alpha-antitoxin.

Extracellular matrix molecules as targets for brown spider venom toxins
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2001 Loxoscelism, the term used to describe lesions and clinical manifestations induced by brown spider's venom (Loxosceles genus), has attracted much attention over the last years. Brown spider bites have been reported to cause a local and acute inflammatory

Staphylococcus aureus small colony variants impair host immunity by activating host cell glycolysis and inducing necroptosis [PDF]
, 2020 Staphylococcus aureus small colony variants (SCVs) are frequently associated with chronic infection, yet they lack expression of many virulence determinants associated with the pathogenicity of wild-type strains. We found that both wild-type S.
