BACKGROUND: The CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) is a suggested receptor for Staphylococcus aureus leukotoxin ED. Homozygosity for the Δ32 deletion (CCR5Δ32) protects against human immunodeficiency virus infection and possibly also against leukotoxin ED. We examined the impact of CCR5Δ32 on the susceptibility to S. aureus infection, all-cause infections, and S. aureus nasal carriage, respectively, and on the...
