Recent improvements in microbiology...
متن کاملThe Staphylococcal Toxic Shock Syndrome
Toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 (TSST1)t is a 22-kD exotoxin produced by most strains ofStaphylococcus aureus isolated from patients with toxic shock syndrome (TSS) (1) . TSST1 is a potent activator of monocytes and T cells . It acts on monocytes to induce the synthesis of IL-1 and TNF (2-4) . TSSTl also triggers T cell activation and proliferation (5), as well as the production of large amounts o...
