- W4310433595 abstract "Streptococcus pyogenes is a globally prominent human-specific pathogen responsible for an enormous burden of human illnesses, including >600 million pharyngeal and >100 million skin infections each year. Despite intensive efforts that focus on invasive indications, much remains unknown about this bacterium in its natural state during colonization of the nasopharynx and skin. Using acute experimental infection models in HLA-transgenic mice, we evaluated how the hyaluronic acid (HA) capsule contributes to S. pyogenes MGAS8232 infection within these limited biological niches. Herein, we demonstrate that HA capsule expression promotes bacterial burden in murine nasal turbinates and skin lesions by resisting neutrophil-mediated killing. HA capsule production is encoded by the hasABC operon and compared to wildtype S. pyogenes infections, mice infected with a ΔhasA mutant exhibited over a 1000-fold CFU reduction at 48-hours post-nasal challenge, and a 10,000-fold CFU reduction from skin lesions 72-hours post-skin challenge. HA capsule expression contributed substantially to skin lesion size development following subdermal inoculations. In the absence of capsule expression, S. pyogenes revealed drastically impeded growth in whole human blood and increased susceptibility to killing by isolated neutrophils ex vivo, highlighting its important role in resisting phagocytosis. Furthermore, we establish that neutrophil depletion in mice recovered the reduced burden by the ΔhasA mutant in both the nasopharynx and skin. Together, this work confirms that the HA capsule is a key virulence determinant during acute infections by S. pyogenes and demonstrates that its predominant function is to protect S. pyogenes against neutrophil-mediated killing." @default.
