Contribution of Leukocidin ED to the Pathogenesis of Staphylococcus aureus Endophthalmitis
Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual ScienceTo test the hypothesis that leukocidin ED (LukED) contributes to the pathogenesis of experimental Staphylococcus aureus endophthalmitis.Growth curves were generated for S. aureus strain JE2 and strain JE2 lukE::Tn, the transposon mutant of LukED, in brain heart infusion (BHI) and explanted rabbit vitreous. The expression of leukotoxins (lukSF-PV, lukED,
