A series of virulence factors secreted by S. aureus can trigger severe diseases such as sepsis, endocarditis and toxic shock, and thus have a great impact on human health. The transformation of S. aureus from a colonization state to a pathogenic state during its life cycle is intimately associated with the initiation of bacterial aggregation and biofilm accumulation. SdrC, an S. aureus surface protein, can act as an adhesin to promote cell attachment and aggregation by an unknown mechanism. Here, structural studies demonstrate that SdrC forms a unique dimer through intermolecular interaction. It is proposed that the dimerization of SdrC enhances the efficiency of bacteria-host attachment and therefore contributes to the pathogenicity of S. aureus.
