Factors Affecting the Collagen Binding Capacity of Staphylococcus aureus

To determine whether the ability of Staphylococcus aureus to bind collagen involves an adhesin other than the collagen adhesin encoded by cna, we examined the collagen binding capacity (CBC) of 32 strains of S. aureus. With only two exceptions, a high CBC corresponded with the presence of cna. Both...
