Competition between skin antimicrobial peptides and commensal bacteria in type 2 inflammation enables survival of S. aureus
1 May 2023
Abstract excerpt
During inflammation, the skin deploys antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) yet during allergic inflammation it becomes more susceptible to Staphylococcus aureus . To understand this contradiction, single-cell sequencing of Il4ra −/− mice combined with skin microbiome analysis reveals that lower production of AMPs from interleukin-4 receptor α (IL-4Rα) activation selectively inhibits survival of antibiotic-producing...
