A 22-year-old woman is brought to the emergency department due to 1 day of high fever, vomiting, watery diarrhoea, myalgia, and light-headedness. She is on day 4 of her menstrual period and has been using high-absorbency tampons. Temperature is 39.8°C (103.6°F), blood pressure is 78/42 mm Hg, pulse is 132/min, and respirations are 24/min. She has diffuse macular erythroderma, conjunctival hyperaemia, and a strawberry tongue. Serum creatinine is 2.2 mg/dL, platelets are 82,000/mm³, and AST is 140 U/L. A tampon is removed, and vaginal culture grows Staphylococcus aureus. Blood cultures remain negative. She is treated with fluids, vasopressors, and antibiotics, and 2 weeks later the skin of her palms and soles peels.
Which of the following is the most likely mechanism of the toxin responsible for this patient's illness?
