Staphylococcus aureus utilizes vimentin to internalize human keratinocytes
Thus, these experiments elucidated the mechanism of vimentin protein expression during <i>S. aureus</i> infection in human skin keratinocytes and revealed the role of vimentin in this process. These findings suggest that vimentin could serve as a potential target for the prevention or treatment of <i>S. aureus</i> infections.
