Model for the secondary role of FbaA and GAPDH after excretion. FbaA and GAPDH get excreted and bind to certain extracellular matrix proteins and also bind back to the staphylococcal cells via interaction with Atl and weak interaction with PGN. This affinity to both eucaryotic matrix proteins and staphylococcal surface proteins mediates adherence. SA, S. aureus.
