has been well-associated as a cause of obstetric infections but is a less commonly recognized organism of necrotizing skin and soft tissue infections (NSTI). infections are rare with only 14 cases reported in the literature to date. These infections are often associated with profound septic shock and the mortality rate remains high.

Osteomyelitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus is an important and current health care problem worldwide. Treatment of this infection frequently fails not only due to the increasing incidence of antimicrobial-resistant isolates but also because of the ability of S. aureus to evade the immune system, adapt to the bone microenvironment, and persist within this tissue for decades.

Clostridium sordellii is a spore-forming anaerobic Gram-positive rod that has rarely been reported to cause disease in humans. Resultant mortality from infection is estimated at nearly 70% and is most often correlated with gynaecological procedures, intravenous drug abuse or trauma. C.

is a major causative agent of osteomyelitis in adults and children. The increasing incidence of antimicrobial resistant isolates and the morbidity of this type of infection denote that alternative therapeutic approaches are required. protein A interacts with TNFR1 and EGFR expressed at the surface of host cells.

Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage is a risk factor for individuals suffering from trauma, surgical procedures, invasive devices, and/or decreased immunity. Recently, we demonstrated that artificial nasal colonization with an attenuated S. aureus mutant reduced by bacterial interference with the colonization of pathogenic strains of S.
