Abstract

Sepsis is a complex disease characterized by severe endothelial injury. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Lubkin et al. (2019) reveal that an interaction between Staphylococcus aureus leukocidins and their cellular receptor DARC on endothelial cells leads to vascular injury, shedding light on pathogen-driven contributions to sepsis.
