Matrix metalloproteinase MMP-8, TIMP-1 and MMP-8/TIMP-1 ratio in plasma in methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 BackgroundMatrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) have been shown to predict prognosis in sepsis. However, MMP-8 and TIMP-1 in Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) lacks evaluation and their role in the ...
