Toxin-induced necroptosis is a major mechanism of Staphylococcus aureus lung damage.
Staphylococcus aureus USA300 strains cause a highly inflammatory necrotizing pneumonia. The virulence of this strain has been attributed to its expression of multiple toxins that have diverse targets including ADAM10, NLRP3 and CD11b.
