Staphylococcus aureus proteins Sbi and Efb recruit human plasmin to degrade complement C3 and C3b [PDF]
Upon host infection, the human pathogenic microbe Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) immediately faces innate immune reactions such as the activated complement system. Here, a novel innate immune evasion strategy of S. aureus is described.
