Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus colonizes the mucous membrane of the nasal vestibule of a significant number of healthy people. These microorganisms are opportunistic pathogens, that in favorable conditions, may cause infections of various course, location or manifestation. Secondary infections emerge in cases when other risk factors contribute to such a change. One of the diseases during which S. aureus changes its saprophytic character to a pathogenic one is atopic dermatitis (AD), an allergic skin condition of a chronic and recurrent nature. Patients with AD are highly predisposed to secondary staphylococcal infections due to active S. aureus colonization of the stratum corneum, damage of the skin barrier or a defective immune response. Microorganisms present in skin lesions destroy the tissue by secreting enzymes and toxins, and additionally stimulate secondary allergic reactions. The toxins secreted by strains of S. aureus also act as superantigens and penetrate the skin barrier contributing to a chronic inflammation of the atopic skin lesions. The S. aureus species also releases proinflammatory proteins, including enzymes that cause tissue damage.
When initiating treatment it is particularly important to properly assess that the onset of the secondary bacterial infection is caused by S. aureus and thus justifying the inclusion of antibiotic therapy. Depending on the severity and extent of the staphylococcal infection, topical antibiotics are used, usually mupirocin or fusidic acid, or general antibiotic treatment is introduced. Another therapeutic strategy without antibiotics has given a positive effect in patients.

Abstract
Allergic rhinitis is known to be one of the most common chronic diseases in the industrialized world. According to the concept that allergic rhinitis patients generally suffer from an immune deficit, in order to stimulate specifically or aspecifically their immune system, immunomodulating agents from various sources, such as synthetic compounds, tissue extracts or a mixture of bacterial extracts, have been used. The aim of the present trial is to evaluate the efficacy of the treatment with an immunostimulating vaccine consisting of a polyvalent mechanical bacterial lysate (PMBL) in the prophylaxis of allergic rhinitis and subsequently to analyze its in vivo effects on immune responses. 41 allergic rhinitis patients were enrolled: 26 patients were randomly assigned to the group for PMBL sublingual treatment and 15 others to the group for placebo treatment. For all 26 patients blood samples were drawn just before (T0) and after 3 months of PMBL treatment (T3) to evaluate plasma IgE levels (total and allergen-specific) and the cytokine production involved in the allergic response (IL-4, IFN-γ). The results of our study indicate that PMBL is effective in vivo in the reduction or in the elimination of the symptoms in rhinitis subjects during the treatment period in comparison to a non-immunostimulating treatment. A significant and clinically relevant improvement was found in 61.5%, a stationary clinical response was registered in 38.4% and no negative side effects associated with the medication or worsening were recorded. At the end of a 3-month follow up period the clinical picture remained the same as that observed at T3. PMBL treatment did not affect the serum IgE levels (either total or allergen-specific) and did not induce significant changes in IFN-γ concentration. In contrast, PMBL therapy may be accompanied, in some patients, by a potential immunomodulating activity by decreasing IL-4 cytokine expression.

More than one tandem repeat domain of the extracellular adherence protein of Staphylococcus aureus is required for aggregation, adherence, and host cell invasion but not for leukocyte activation.

Abstract
The extracellular adherence protein (Eap) is a multifunctional Staphylococcus aureus protein and broad-spectrum adhesin for several host matrix and plasma proteins. We investigated the interactions of full-length Eap and five recombinant tandem repeat domains with host proteins by use of surface plasmon resonance (BIAcore) and ligand overlay assays. In addition, agglutination and host cell interaction, namely, adherence, invasion, and stimulation of proliferation, were determined. With plasmon resonance, the interaction of full-length Eap isoforms (from strains Newman and Wood 46) with fibrinogen, fibronectin, vitronectin, and thrombospondin-1 was found to be specific but with different affinities for the ligands tested. In the ligand overlay assay, the interactions of five single tandem repeat domains (D1 to D5) of Eap-7 (from strain CI-7) with fibronectin, fibrinogen, vitronectin, thrombospondin-1, and collagen I differed substantially. Most prominently, D3 bound most strongly to fibronectin and fibrinogen. Full-length Eap, but none of the single tandem repeat domains, agglutinated S. aureus and enhanced adherence to and invasion of host cells by S. aureus. Constructs D3-4 and D1-3 (in cis) increased adherence and invasiveness compared to what was seen for single Eap tandem repeat domains. By contrast, single Eap tandem repeat domains and full-length Eap similarly modulated the proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs): low concentrations stimulated, whereas high concentrations inhibited, proliferation. Taken together, the data indicate that Eap tandem repeat domains appear to have distinct characteristics for the binding of soluble ligands, despite a high degree of sequence similarity. In addition, more than one Eap tandem repeat domain is required for S. aureus agglutination, adherence, and cellular invasion but not for the stimulation of PBMC proliferation.

Abstract
The extracellular adhesion protein (Eap) secreted by the major human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus is known to have several effects on human immunity. We have recently added to knowledge of these roles by demonstrating that Eap enhances interactions between major histocompatibility complex molecules and human leukocytes. Several studies have indicated that Eap can induce cytokine production by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). To date, there has been no rigorous attempt to identify the breadth of cytokines produced by Eap stimulation or to identify the cell subsets that respond. Here, we demonstrate that Eap induces the secretion of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) by CD14(+) leukocytes (monocytes and macrophages) within direct ex vivo PBMC populations (note that granulocytes are also CD14(+) but are largely depleted from PBMC preparations). Anti-intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (CD54) antibodies inhibited this induction and implicated a role for this known Eap binding protein in cellular activation. IL-6 and TNF-alpha secretion by murine cells exposed to Eap was also observed. The activation of CD14(+) cells by Eap suggests that it could play a significant role in both septic shock and fever, two of the major pathological features of S. aureus infections.

Abstract
The extracellular adherence protein (Eap), a broad-spectrum adhesin secreted by Staphylococcus aureus, was previously shown to curb acute inflammatory responses, presumably through its binding to endothelial cell (EC) ICAM-1. Examining the effect of Eap on endothelial function in more detail, we here show that, in addition, Eap functions as a potent angiostatic agent. Concomitant treatment of EC with purified Eap resulted in the complete blockage of the mitogenic and sprouting responses elicited by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)165 or basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). Moreover, the induction of tissue factor and decay-accelerating factor were repressed by Eap, as determined by qRT-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), with a corresponding reduction in Egr-1 protein up-regulation seen. This angiostatic activity was accompanied by a corresponding inhibition in ERK1/2 phosphorylation, while activation of p38 was not affected. Inhibition occurred downstream of tyrosine kinase receptor activation, as comparable effects were seen on TPA-induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation. Similar to previously described angiostatic agents like angiopoietin-1 or the 16-kDa prolactin fragment, Eap blockage of the Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK cascade was localized by pull-down assay at the level of Ras activation. Eap's combined anti-inflammatory and antiangiogenic properties render this bacterial protein not only an important virulence factor during S. aureus infection but open new perspectives for therapeutic applications in pathological neovascularization.

Abstract
Eap and Emp are two Staphylococcus aureus adhesins initially described as extracellular matrix binding proteins. Eap has since emerged as being important in adherence to and invasion of eukaryotic cells, as well as being described as an immunomodulator and virulence factor in chronic infections. This paper describes the mapping of the transcription start point of the eap and emp promoters. Moreover, using reporter-gene assays and real-time PCR in defined regulatory mutants, environmental conditions and global regulators affecting expression of eap and emp were investigated. Marked differences were found in expression of eap and emp between strain Newman and the 8325 derivatives SH1000 and 8325-4. Moreover, both genes were repressed in the presence of glucose. Analysis of expression of both genes in various regulatory mutants revealed that sarA and agr were involved in their regulation, but the data suggested that there were additional regulators of both genes. In a sae mutant, expression of both genes was severely repressed. sae expression was also reduced in the presence of glucose, suggesting that repression of eap and emp in glucose-containing medium may, in part, be a consequence of a decrease in expression of sae.

Abstract
Secreted aspartic proteinases (Sap) have been described as virulence factors implicated in the mechanisms of host colonization by the yeast Candida albicans in different types of candidiasis. Intraperitoneal inoculation of C. albicans into BALB/c mice rapidly leads to systemic candidiasis, with significant colonization of the kidneys measurable in the following week. In this study we assessed the potential of vaccination with C. albicans secreted aspartic proteinase 2 (Sap2) in preventing systemic candidiasis in BALB/c mice. Intradermal injection of highly purified native Sap2 protein incorporated in alum adjuvant provided efficient immune protection, as indicated by a 20-fold decrease in the colonization of kidneys. The protective effect of Sap2 immunization with alum adjuvant was also observed in mice infected with a lethal inoculum of C. albicans. Immunization with the native Sap2 alone, as well as with a denatured recombinant form of the protein, also conferred protection, albeit to a lesser level. In all cases, protection correlated with an increase in serum antibodies to Sap2. Moreover, passive transfer of anti-Sap2 immunoglobulin G (IgG) significantly decreased the yeast burden in kidneys of C. albicans-infected mice. This result shows that immune protection against systemic candidiasis in mice immunized with Sap2 is antibody-mediated. Taken together, these analyses demonstrate that Sap2 can be successfully used as a vaccination target in systemic candidiasis and reveals the potential immunomodulatory role of Sap2 on C. albicans infection.

Abstract
Adherence of Staphylococcus aureus to the host tissue is an important step in the initiation of pathogenesis. At least 10 adhesins produced by S. aureus have been described and it is becoming clear that the expression of these adhesins and their interactions with eukaryotic cells involve complex processes. Some of these, such as the fibronectin-binding proteins (FnBPs) and Clumping Factor A, are well characterized. However, in the last 10 years a number of novel S. aureus adhesins have been described. Functional analyses of these proteins, one of which is Eap (extracellular adherence protein, also known as Map and p70), are revealing important information on the pathogenesis of staphylococcal disease. More than 10 years after the first report of Eap, we are beginning to understand that this protein, which has a broad spectrum of functions, may be a critical factor in the pathogenesis of S. aureus. This review will focus on the interactions of Eap with eukaryotic cells, plasma proteins and the extracellular matrix as well as on the recently recognized role of Eap as an important mediator in the immune response to staphylococcal infection.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus (SA) is an opportunistic pathogen that affects a variety of organ systems and is responsible for many diseases worldwide. SA express an MHC class II analog protein (Map), which may potentiate SA survival by modulating host immunity. We tested this hypothesis in mice by generating Map-deficient SA (Map(-)SA) and comparing disease outcome to wild-type Map(+)SA-infected mice. Map(-)SA-infected mice presented with significantly reduced levels of arthritis, osteomyelitis, and abscess formation compared with control animals. Furthermore, Map(-)SA-infected nude mice developed arthritis and osteomyelitis to a severity similar to Map(+)SA-infected controls, suggesting that T cells can affect disease outcome following SA infection and Map may attenuate cellular immunity against SA. The capacity of Map to alter T cell function was tested more specifically in vitro and in vivo using native and recombinant forms of Map. T cells or mice treated with recombinant Map had reduced T cell proliferative responses and a significantly reduced delayed-type hypersensitivity response to challenge antigen, respectively. These data suggest a role for Map as an immunomodulatory protein that may play a role in persistent SA infections by affecting protective cellular immunity.

Abstract
Dogs and human beings with atopic dermatitis (AD) frequently exhibit concurrent skin infections with Staphylococcus sp. bacteria or Malassezia yeast, and treatment of such infections is an important facet of managing these patients. Staphylococci appear to colonize atopic skin readily, and bacterial products on the skin could augment cutaneous inflammation via immediate hypersensitivity responses to the bacteria, by superantigen-mediated lymphocyte activation, or other non-specific mechanisms. Similarly, skin colonization by Malassezia yeast could contribute to clinical signs of AD; yeast components could induce inflammation via non-specific mechanisms, such as alteration in mediator release, or via antigen-specific hypersensitivity reactions. Clinical and experimental evidence exists that secondary microbial infections can both initiate and perpetuate episodes of AD in dogs and humans, and could even participate in promotion of pro-allergic immunologic responses. Mechanistic details of these complex interactions are under extensive investigation in human beings; only a few observations have been extended to include dog with AD.
