Abstract
Keratinocytes injured acutely by UVB light or lipopolysaccharide were used to test the hypothesis that keratinocyte injury promotes bacterial adherence and the development of group A streptococcal skin infections. Injury did not affect adherence to undifferentiated and differentiated keratinocytes, but keratinocyte differentiation promoted adherence four- to fivefold.Entities:
