The plasma proteins of the complement system are essential in the innate immune response against bacteria. Complement labels bacteria with opsonins to support phagocytosis and generates chemoattractants to attract phagocytes to the site of infection. In turn, bacterial human pathogens have evolved different strategies to specifically impair the complement response. Here, we review the large arsenal of complement inhibitors produced by the gram-positive pathogens Staphylococcus aureus and Group A Streptococcus. We discuss how these bacterial molecules provide us with new tools to treat both infectious and inflammatory disease conditions in humans.
补体系统的血浆蛋白在针对细菌的先天免疫反应中至关重要。补体通过调理素标记细菌,以支持吞噬作用,并产生趋化因子吸引吞噬细胞到感染部位。反过来,细菌病原体已经进化出不同的策略来特异性地削弱补体反应。在这里,我们回顾了革兰氏阳性病原体金黄色葡萄球菌和 A 组链球菌产生的大量补体抑制剂。我们讨论了这些细菌分子如何为我们提供新的工具来治疗人类的感染和炎症性疾病。
