Significance of mannose-binding lectin deficiency and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2 polymorphisms in Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infections: a case-control study.

Significance of mannose-binding lectin deficiency and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2 polymorphisms in Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infections: a case-control study.

BACKGROUND: Pathways coordinated by innate pattern recognition receptors like mannose-binding lectin (MBL) and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2) are among the first immune responses to Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bloodstream infections (BSI) in animal models, but human data ar...
