Introduction
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), also known as “golden staph” and “oro staphira”, is a member of Bacillota. Staphylo meaning grape in Greek and aureus meaning golden, indicating S. aureus is a kind of yellow-colored, grapelike-cluster of bacteria. [1] [2]
S. aureus is a common type of bacteria that appears everywhere in our daily life and has a high lethal rate all around the world.
S. aureus is commonly found in the environment such as soil, water, and air, and also in the nose and on the skin of humans and animals.[3]
Its high lethality is due to its high antibiotic resistance. In the past, doctors used penicillin to treat patients with S. aureus infection but the antibiotic no longer kills the bacteria by the end of 1940s.
S. aureus is famous for its serious infection reaction in the human body. In order for bacteria to cause infection in the human body, they need to escape from the immune system. S. aureus has developed a number of strategies to survive outside of the immune system before infecting a cell. Besides, S. aureus seems to be inextirpable in that it is resistant to nearly all types of antibiotics. Whenever a new drug is tested against S. aureus infection, it fails after preliminary successes.
The infection of S. aureus is completed within the human body. After S. aureus enters the bloodstream, it will be detected by the immune system. Neutrophils, mast cells and different kinds of immune cells quickly respond to the infection site, causing inflammation reaction and other signaling pathways that command the body to fight against the intruder. While they are still in the bloodstreams, S. aureus have a wide variety of mechanisms to avoid being killed by neutrophils. For example, they release cytotoxic compounds to kill phagocytes which inhibit the function of neutrophils.
When S. aureus enter the body from (), they travel along the bloodstream to [some organs][cite]. The immune cells in the bloodstreams are a major threat to S. aureus as theyhave to avoid being attacked by the immune system. The strategies used by S.aureus include neutrophils activation and chemotaxis inhibition, phagocytosis inhibition, opsonization suppression, and neutrophils elimination. In specific, S.aureus inhibits phagocytosis by aggregation, protective surface proteins, and biofilm structures and kills neutrophils by cytolytic toxins or apoptosis.
Inhibition of neutrophil extravasation, activation, and chemotaxis
Extravasation inhibition
The extravasation of neutrophils includes tethering, rolling, adhesion, crawling and transmigration. [4] These steps are inhibited by S. aureus to reduce the ability of neutrophils. One way to inhibit extravasation is to inhibit neutrophil rolling. Staphylococcal superantigen-like protein 5 (SSL5), a member of SSL family that is produced by S. aureus is being used to prevent neutrophil rolling. The rolling of neutrophil is primarily promoted by P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1), a glycoprotein binds to P-selectin that is found on white blood cells and endothelial cells. [5] Recent research suggest that during infection, the interaction between PSGL-1 and P-selectin is being disturbed by SSL5 by directly binding to PSGL-1 and competing with antibiotics. [6]
