Septic arthritis in an in vivo murine model induced by Staphylococcus aureus <subtitle>a comparison between actions of the haemolysin toxin and the effects of the host immune response</subtitle>

AimsStaphylococcus aureus is a major cause of septic arthritis, and in vitro studies suggest α haemolysin (Hla) is responsible for chondrocyte death. We used an in vivo murine joint model to compare inoculation with wild type S. aureus 8325-4 with a Hla-deficient strain DU1090 on chondrocyte viabili...
