Staphylococcus aureus skin infection recurrences among household members: an examination of host, behavioral, and pathogen-level predictors.
BACKGROUND Many patients suffer from recurrent Staphylococcus aureus infections, but there are few data examining recurrence predictors. METHODS We followed adults and children after treatment for S. aureus skin infections and their household contacts in Los Angeles and Chicago. We surveyed subjects for S. aureus body colonization, household fomite contamination, and behavioral and clinical f...
متن کاملColonization and Infection of the Skin by S. aureus: Immune System Evasion and the Response to Cationic Antimicrobial Peptides
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a widespread cutaneous pathogen responsible for the great majority of bacterial skin infections in humans. The incidence of skin infections by S. aureus reflects in part the competition between host cutaneous immune defenses and S. aureus virulence factors. As part of the innate immune system in the skin, cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs) such as the β...
متن کاملInsights into the Staphylococcus aureus-Host Interface: Global Changes in Host and Pathogen Gene Expression in a Rabbit Skin Infection Model
Staphylococcus aureus is an important cause of human skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) globally. Notably, 80% of all SSTIs are caused by S. aureus, of which ∼63% are abscesses and/or cellulitis. Although progress has been made, our knowledge of the host and pathogen factors that contribute to the pathogenesis of SSTIs is incomplete. To provide a more comprehensive view of this process, we...
متن کاملStaphylococcus aureus: a blemish on skin immunity.
Staphylococcus aureus is the leading cause of human skin infections. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, new research probes how a change in surface hydrophobicity mediated by a single S. aureus protein renders the pathogen resistant to key molecular effectors of skin innate immunity, including cationic antimicrobial peptides and fatty acid constituents of sebum. Novel treatment strategies fo...
متن کاملOccurrence of Staphylococcus Aureus-Induced Apoptosis During Infection, Strategy for Cancer Treatment
Introduction: Despite advances in the recognition of new risk factors, prevention, diagnosis and treatment, cancer is still remains as a global health problem. Several numbers of studies have recently provided evidence that because of having pro apoptotic effects, biotoxins such as bacterial toxins, could be used as potential antitumor agents. Staphylococcus aureus, as a major human pathogen, h...
