S. aureus has the ability to invade host cells, enabling it to evade both antibiotics and immune responses during infection, which may result in clinical treatment failures. Therefore, it is critical to identify the host cell type of implant-associated intracellular S. aureus infections and to develop a strategy for highly targeted delivery of antibiotics to the host cells...
