Variance in Fibronectin Binding and fnb Locus Polymorphisms in Staphylococcus aureus: Identification of Antigenic Variation in a Fibronectin Binding Protein Adhesin of the Epidemic CMRSA-1 Strain of Methicillin-Resistant S. aureus

The fnbA and fnbB genes of Staphylococcus aureus 8325-4 encode fibronectin (Fn) binding proteins FnBPA and FnBPB, which promote adherence to host tissues. Each adhesin contains three copies of a repeated D motif that binds Fn and is a target for vaccine development. In this study, we assess variabil...
