                                  "Previous studies have demonstrated a lower sensitivity of anti-SLO in impetigo [33, 34], potentially because of cholesterol binding to SLO [35], and could indicate a potential limitation of using a cohort with invasive disease to predict the infecting etiology in those with uncomplicated BHS cellulitis."

                                  "A possible explanation for these findings is that cholesterol enriched microdomains containing glycosphingolipids in the erythrocyte membrane become occupied by tightly stacked lectin molecules, blocking the interaction between cholesterol and SLO that would otherwise result in penetration of the membrane."
