PSMα contributes to Egr1-dependent early neutrophil recruitment and host defense in a murine model of Staphylococcus aureus pneumonia
Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ) pneumonia is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Neutrophils play a central role in host defense against bacterial infection and are significantly increased in the lungs during S. aureus pneumonia. However, the precise mechanisms underlying neutrophil ac...
