of staphylococcal and streptococcal bacteria to cause disease is due to numerous virulence factors, among which a group called Superantigens play a prominent role.
Staphylococcal infections — especially rampant in hospitals and responsible for... some fatal disorders — may be virtually stamped out.
Williamson explains that anti-biotics against
the staphylococcal bacteria which usually cause mastitis are sometimes ineffective because the bacteria «hide» in the cells of their host and so avoid contact with the antibiotic.
