AbstractStaphylococcus aureus causes the majority of skin and soft tissue infections, but this pathogen only transiently colonizes healthy skin. However, this transient skin exposure enables S. aureus to transition to infection. Initial adhesion of S. aureus to skin corneocytes is mediated by surface protein G (SasG). Here, phylogenetic analyses reveal the presence of two major divergent SasG alleles in S. aureus, SasG-I and SasG-II.

Figure 1.  Association of Hypertension (HTN) and Antihypertensive Status With the Risk of All-Cause Dementia The x-axis is in log2 scale. The main analysis (partially adjusted) included covariates of age, age squared, sex, education, and racial group. The fully adjusted analysis included additional covariates of body mass index, smoking status, history of hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes. Each of the other analyses applied the partially adjusted model.
