Abstract
The hemostatic system is an important player in host's response to infection. It has been shown that host hemostatic factors as well as platelets, interact with various proteins from bacteria and play important roles in host defense against infections. This review summarizes studies of function of host hemostatic system in host defense against bacterial infections and efforts to target hemostatic system interaction with pathogens to develop potential antimicrobial therapies.Entities:
