Three-Dimensional Human Skin Models to Understand Staphylococcus aureus Skin Colonization and Infection
Staphylococcus aureus is both a major bacterial pathogen as well as a common member of the human skin microbiota. Due to its widespread prevalence as an asymptomatic skin colonizer and its importance as a source of skin and soft tissue infections, an improved understanding of how S. aureus attaches to, grows within, and breaches the stratified layers of the epidermis is of critical importance. ...

متن کاملLocal Inflammation Exacerbates the Severity of Staphylococcus aureus Skin Infection
Staphylococcus aureus is the leading cause of skin infections. In a mouse model of S. aureus skin infection, we found that lesion size did not correlate with bacterial burden. Athymic nude mice had smaller skin lesions that contained lower levels of myeloperoxidase, IL-17A, and CXCL1, compared with wild type mice, although there was no difference in bacterial burden. T cell deficiency did not e...
متن کاملGenetic Requirement for ADAM10 in Severe Staphylococcus aureus Skin Infection
Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of human skin infections, contributing to disease in both healthy and immunocompromised individuals, also complicating burn and surgical wound sites and lesions of atopic dermatitis (Lowy, 1998; Ong and Leung, 2010). Host defense against staphylococcal skin infection is multifaceted, relying on local immunologic control through TH17 and IL-1β–driven recr...
