Cellular Responses to Staphylococcus aureus Alpha-Toxin in Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps

Cellular Responses to Staphylococcus aureus Alpha-Toxin in Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps

Background: In contrast to Staphylococcus aureus-derived superantigenic exotoxins, the role of nonsuperantigenic exotoxins in the pathogenesis of eosinophilic airway diseases remains obscure. We sought to characterize S. aureus alpha-toxin-induced cellular responses in chronic rhinosinusitis with na...
