Staphylococcus aureus infections can be challenging to diagnose, and there is no diagnostic test for host immunity. We demonstrated a cost-effective assay for determining the anti-glucosaminidase titer, which can be readily combined with conventional serology to improve diagnosis and to assess host immunity against Staphylococcus aureus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
