A novel vertebrate model of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> infection reveals phagocyte-dependent resistance of zebrafish to non-host specialized pathogens
18 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
With the emergence of multiply resistant Staphylococcus aureus, there is an urgent need to better understand the molecular determinants of S. aureus pathogenesis. A model of staphylococcal pathogenesis in zebrafish embryos has been established, in which host phagocytes are able to mount an effective immune response, preventing overwhelming infection from small inocula. Myeloid cell depletion, by pu.1...
