- Mechanism
- Curator reviewed · 6 references
Staphylococcus aureus alpha-toxin is a virulence factor secreted by methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA), with S. aureus being a leading cause of hospital-acquired lower respiratory tract infections and bloodstream, skin, soft tissue, and surgical site infections. Tosatoxumab acts as a monoclonal antibody against infections caused by MRSA and MSSA by targeting the S. aureus alpha-toxin, with its mode of action being independent of the antibiotic resistance profile of S. aureus.
