- Abstract
AB - BACKGROUND: Toxins are important Staphylococcus aureus virulence factors, but little is known about their immunogenicity during infection. Here, additional insight is generated. METHODS: Serum samples from 206 S. aureus-infected patients and 201 hospital-admitted control subjects were analyzed for immunoglobulin (Ig) G binding to 20 toxins, using flow-cytometry based technology. Antibody levels were associated with po
