Inhibitory activities of monoclonal antibodies against Staphylococcus aureus clumping factor A
Staphylococcus aureus infection is a frequent cause of sepsis in humans, a disease associated with high mortality and without specific intervention. Clumping factor A (ClfA) displayed on the bacterial surface plays a key role in promoting S.
