Failure to induce IFN-β production during Staphylococcus aureus infection contributes to pathogenicity.
The importance of type I IFNs in the host response to viral infection is well established; however, their role in bacterial infection is not fully understood. Several bacteria (both Gram-positive and -negative) have been shown to induce IFN-β production in myeloid cells, but this IFN-β is not always beneficial to the host. We examined whether Staphylococcus aureus induces IFN-β from myeloid pha...
متن کاملProtective role of nitric oxide in Staphylococcus aureus infection in mice.
This study was carried out to determine the role of nitric oxide (NO) in Staphylococcus aureus infection in mice. NO production in spleen cell cultures was induced by heat-killed S. aureus. Expression of mRNA of the inducible isoform of NO synthase (iNOS) was induced in the spleens and kidneys of S. aureus-infected mice. When mice were treated with monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against tumor nec...
متن کاملInduction of cell-mediated immunity to Staphylococcus aureus in the mouse mammary gland by local immunization with a live attenuated mutant.
The efficacy of intramammary (Ima) immunization with a live attenuated (la) Staphylococcus aureus mutant to protect the mouse mammary gland from infection has previously been established. The present study was aimed at evaluating whether Ima immunization with la-S. aureus can induce cell-mediated immune responses to the pathogen within the mammary gland. Mice were immunized by Ima route with la...
متن کاملCommercial preparations of lipoteichoic acid contain endotoxin that contributes to activation of mouse macrophages in vitro.
Lipoteichoic acids (LTA), cell wall components of gram-positive bacteria, have been reported to induce various inflammatory mediators and to play a key role in gram-positive-microbe-mediated septic shock. In a large number of these studies, investigators used commercially available LTA purified from a variety of gram-positive bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Str...
متن کاملRegulation of exoprotein gene expression by the Staphylococcus aureus cvfB gene.
We previously reported that the cvfB gene (SA1223) of Staphylococcus aureus is responsible for the virulence of this pathogenic bacterium. We show here that the cvfB gene regulates exoprotein gene expression. In a cvfB gene deletion mutant, hemolysin, DNase, and protease production were decreased, whereas protein A expression was increased. The amount of RNAIII, the transcript from the P3 promo...
