| Abstract | Staphylococcus aureus infections are often life threatening. Relatively little is known about the host response to these infections, in particular, the role played by cytokines. We established a mouse model of bacteremic S. aureus infection to correlate bacteriologic findings and pathologic changes with cytokine gene expression. Bacterial density in blood and tissue was highest at 1 h and minimal by 48 h. Despite the rapid clearance of bacteria, pathologic abnormalities and inflammatory cytokines were detected after clearance of the bacteria. The number of infiltrating inflammatory cells, as well as the size of inflammatory foci, increased with time. Interstitial accumulation of inflammatory cells and tissue damage, such as microabscesses, edema, and necrosis progressed following clearance of bacteria from the tissues. Levels of tumor necrosis factor and interleukin-1 protein in serum were detectable at 1 h and peaked at 4 h. Interleukin-6 protein expression showed different kinetics, with low levels detected at 1 h and increasing levels at 72 h postinfection. Tumor necrosis factor and the interleukins were expressed in inflammatory and noninflammatory cells in lung, liver, and heart tissues. Leukocytes in the infected tissues were highly reactive with antibodies to the three cytokines, suggesting that activated leukocytes are a major source of inflammatory cytokines after staphylococcal infection. Expression of interleukin-1 and interleukin-6 in tissue-specific cells and endothelial cells was also detected in infected tissues, indicating that cells other than leukocytes contribute to the elevated cytokine levels in this model. Once initiated, expression of inflammatory cytokines contributes to the pathogenesis of S. aureus disease. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
