What's the association with S. aureus? You'll think it's a joke when it's 3 questions on your Step 1 exam and your reasoning process is what you just put...you'll thank me. :scared:

Your question just asked what is DNAse.. it is that, it breaks down DNA. its one of its stapholokinases, along with lipases, proteases etc to get itself out of blood clots so it can free itself. I thought you asked literally what a DNAse was sorry i was the dumb one my bad
