Genetic evidence that bound coagulase of Staphylococcus aureus is not clumping factor.

Staphylococcus aureus Newman cells carry a surface receptor for fibrinogen called clumping factor. The bacteria also express coagulase, an extracellular protein that binds to prothrombin to form a complex with thrombinlike activity which coverts fibrinogen to fibrin. We have confirmed a recent repor...
