Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Toll-like receptor (TLR) 9 could have importance in human Staphylococcus aureus immunity, but population-level evidence for this hypothesis is missing. METHODS: We phenotyped S. aureus nasal carriage of 603 volunteers using four consecutive swabs, genotyped TLR9 promotor variants in 106 persistent carriers and 219 noncarriers, measured TLR9-mRNA expression in whole blood after stimulation with viable...
