Fibronectin Binding Protein and Host Cell Tyrosine Kinase Are Required for Internalization of Staphylococcus aureus by Epithelial Cells

Staphylococcus aureus expresses several surface proteins that promote adherence to host cell extracellular matrix proteins, including fibronectin (Fn). Since this organism has recently been shown to be internalized by nonprofessional phagocytes, a process that typically requires high-affinity bindin...
