A play in four acts: Staphylococcus aureus abscess formation
Open accessAbstract
Staphylococcus aureus is an important human pathogen that causes skin and soft tissue abscesses. Abscess formation is not unique to staphylococcal infection and purulent discharge has been widely considered a physiological feature of healing and tissue repair. Here we present a different view, whereby S. aureus deploys specific virulence factors to promote abscess lesions that are distinctive for this pathogen. In support of this model, only live S. aureus are able to form abscesses, requiring genes that act at one or more of four discrete stages during the development of these infectious lesions. Protein A and coagulases are distinctive virulence attributes for S. aureus, and humoral immune responses specific for these polypeptides provide protection against abscess formation in animal models of staphylococcal disease.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
