The production and the mechanism of action of exotoxins from Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are presented. The attack to the immune host's defenses is the main virulence factor of opportunistic bacteria in implant infections, favoring the invasion and colonization of compromised periprosthesis tissues.

Abstract
The production and the mechanism of action of exotoxins from Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are presented. The attack to the immune host's defenses is the main virulence factor of opportunistic bacteria in implant infections, favoring the invasion and colonization of compromised periprosthesis tissues.File in questo prodotto:
