Cellular Microbiology: Pathogen-Host Cell Molecular Interactions Andi R. Sultan, Tamara Hoppenbrouwers, Nicole A. Lemmens-den Toom, Susan V. Snijders, Johan W. van Neck, Annelies Verbon, Moniek P. M. de Maat, Willem J. B. van Wamel Nancy E. Freitag, Editor DOI: 10.1128/IAI.00605-19 ABSTRACT Staphylococcus aureus extracellular DNA (eDNA) plays a crucial role in the structural stability of biofilms during bacterial colonization; on the contrary, host immune responses can be induced by bacterial eDNA.

Immune modulators are known to be produced by matured biofilms and during different stages of planktonic growth of Staphylococcus aureus. Little is known about immune modulator production during the early stages of biofilm formation, thus raising the following question: how does S. aureus protect itself from the innate immune responses at these stages?

In vitro induction of NETosis: Comprehensive live imaging comparison and systematic review

|
By Tamara Hoppenbrouwers, Andi R. Sultan
| PLOS
Our systematic review confirms that there is much variation in study design and results of NETosis induction. Our experimental results confirm that under standardized conditions, PMA, living bacteria and Ionomycin all strongly induce NETosis, but real-time confocal imaging reveal different courses of events. PMA is a consistent and potent inducer of NETosis. Ionomycin also consistently resulted in extrusion of DNA, albeit with a process that differs from the NETosis process induced by PMA.
