S. aureus enhances replication of SARS-CoV-2 in vitro through the bacterial iron-regulated surface determinant protein A

In a recent study published in iScience, researchers assessed the impact of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) replication. Study: The Staphylococcus aureus protein IsdA increases SARS CoV-2 replication by modulating JAK-STAT signaling.
