During pathogenesis of infective endocarditis, Staphylococcus aureus adherence often occurs without identifiable preexisting heart disease. However, molecular mechanisms mediating initial bacterial adhesion to morphologically intact endocardium are largely unknown.Perfusion activated human endothelial cells with fluorescent bacteria under high-shear-rate conditions revealed 95% attachment the S by ultralarge von Willebrand factor (ULVWF). Flow experiments VWF deletion mutants and heparin...
