文摘

Finegoldia magna is a highly successful opportunistic pathogen. Factors like sortase-dependent pili and FAF act at the start of the infection. Infection severity can be linked to superantigen protein L, capsule and enzyme. FAF, SufA and biofilms can lead to infection chronification. Antibiotic therapy can be hampered by biofilms and antibiotic resistance.
