Germline-encoded neutralization of a Staphylococcus aureus virulence factor by the human antibody repertoire
Staphylococcus aureus is both an important pathogen and a human commensal. To explore this ambivalent relationship between host and microbe, we analysed the memory humoral response against IsdB, a protein involved in iron acquisition, in four healthy donors. Here we show that in all donors a heavily biased use of two immunoglobulin heavy chain germlines generated high affinity (pM) antibodies t...
متن کاملNeutralization of Staphylococcus aureus exfoliatin by antibody.
Alum-precipitated exfoliatin was found to be an efficient antigen for eliciting high titers of neutralizing antibody in rabbits. Antitoxin thus produced, and transferred passively, was shown to protect neonatal mice against challenge with two to three lethal doses of preformed exfoliatin even when administration was delayed until 15 min before exfoliation began in control animals. The same dose...
متن کاملDual RNA regulatory control of a Staphylococcus aureus virulence factor
In pathogens, the accurate programming of virulence gene expression is essential for infection. It is achieved by sophisticated arrays of regulatory proteins and ribonucleic acids (sRNAs), but in many cases their contributions and connections are not yet known. Based on genetic, biochemical and structural evidence, we report that the expression pattern of a Staphylococcus aureus host immune eva...
متن کاملStaphylococcus aureus hyaluronidase is a CodY-regulated virulence factor.
Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive pathogen that causes a diverse range of bacterial infections. Invasive S. aureus strains secrete an extensive arsenal of hemolysins, immunomodulators, and exoenzymes to cause disease. Our studies have focused on the secreted enzyme hyaluronidase (HysA), which cleaves the hyaluronic acid polymer at the β-1,4 glycosidic bond. In the study described in this...
متن کاملMAE4, an eLtaS monoclonal antibody, blocks Staphylococcus aureus virulence
Staphylococcus aureus causes a wide range of infectious diseases. Treatment of these infections has become increasingly difficult due to the widespread emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains; therefore, it is essential to explore effective alternatives to antibiotics. A secreted protein of S. aureus, known as eLtaS, is an extracellular protein released from the bacterial membrane protein, Lt...
