A model of Staphylococcus aureus-induced pneumonia in adult, immunocompetent C57BL/6J mice is described. This model closely mimics the clinical and pathological features of pneumonia in human patients. Using this system, we defined a role for S. aureus strain Newman surface proteins and secreted exotoxins in pneumonia-related mortality.
本文描述了一种在成年、免疫功能正常的C57BL/6J小鼠中建立的金黄色葡萄球菌诱导的肺炎模型。该模型紧密模拟了人类患者肺炎的临床和病理特征。利用这个系统,我们确定了金黄色葡萄球菌纽曼菌株表面蛋白和分泌性外毒素在肺炎相关死亡率中的作用。
