Abstract

Development of an effective vaccine against Staphylococcus aureus would provide great potential public health benefit. We present a brief overview of the current knowledge in this field, with emphasis on present challenges and lessons learned, together with a summary of vaccines and immunoglobulin preparations currently under investigation.
