S. aureus strains susceptible to ROS are augmented in vitro and in vivo.
A Reactive oxygen species generated in the oxidative burst, highlighting where KatA and AhpC action occurs B Following hydrogen peroxide exposure, percentage survival of S. aureus katAahpC mutants alone (5x104 CFU/mL), or with live M. luteus (5x106 CFU/mL), heat-killed M. luteus (equivalent of 5x106 CFU/mL) or ROS killed M. luteus (equivalent of 5x106 CFU/mL), (n = 3, error bars show mean +/- SD, one-way ANOVA test with Tukey?s post hoc test), ***p<0.0002; ****p<0.0001 C Co-injection of low dose S. aureus katAahpC (1x106 CFU) with heat-killed M. luteus (equivalent of 1x108 CFU) into mice: liver CFU, enumerated at 3 days post-infection (n = 5 per group, median value shown, two-tailed Mann-Whitney test), *p<0.05 D Co-injection of low dose S. aureus (SA 2x105 CFU) with M. luteus PGN (ML PGN 500 ?g) into wild-type (WT) control mice or MPO-/- mice: liver CFU, enumerated at 3 days post-infection (n = 9 per group, median value shown, individual two-tailed Mann-Whitney tests), *p<0.05, **p<0.002, ***p<0.0006. |
