Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is a major human pathogen that causes a wide range of infections by producing an arsenal of cytotoxins. We found that passive immunization with either a monoclonal antibody (MAb) neutralizing alpha-hemolysin or a broadly cross-reactive MAb neutralizing Panton-Valentine leukocidin, leukocidin ED, and gamma-hemolysins HlgAB and HlgCB conferred only partial protection, whereas the combination of those two MAbs conferred significant protection in a rabbit model of necrotizing pneumonia caused by the USA300 methicillin-resistant S. aureus epidemic clone.Entities:
