Staphylococcus aureus Infection Induces the Production of the Neutrophil Chemoattractants CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL3, CXCL5, CCL3, and CCL7 by Murine Osteoblasts.

ABSTRACT: Staphylococcus aureus is the principal causative agent of osteomyelitis, a serious bacterial infection of bone that is associated with progressive inflammatory damage. Bone-forming osteoblasts have increasingly been recognized to play an important role in the initiation and progression of detrimental inflammation at sites of infection and have been demonstrated to release an array of inflammatory mediators and factors that promote osteoclastogenesis and leukocyte recruitment following bacterial challenge. In the present study, we describe elevated bone tissue levels of the potent neutrophil-attracting chemokines CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL3, CXCL5, CCL3, and CCL7 in a murine model of posttraumatic staphylococcal osteomyelitis.
