Mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa resists nonopsonic phagocytosis by human neutrophils and macrophages.

Abstract:

:Mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important respiratory pathogen in patients with cystic fibrosis, and once acquired is virtually impossible to eradicate. Although mucoid P. aeruginosa is generally believed to be resistant to phagocytosis, the mechanism is not understood fully. We studied the nonopsonic phagocytosis by human neutrophils or macrophages of eight mucoid/nonmucoid P. aeruginosa pairs (three isogenic and five "wild-type"). Mucoid strains were relatively resistant to nonopsonic phagocytosis but the nonmucoid types were phagocytosis-susceptible as assessed by visual inspection and chemiluminescence assays. The mucoid and nonmucoid variants had equal numbers of pili but different surface characteristics as determined by biphasic partitioning in polyethylene glycol and dextran. The mucoid exopolysaccharide of mucoid strains appears to alter the surface characteristics of P. aeruginosa thereby rendering them resistant to nonopsonic phagocytosis. The resistance of mucoid variants of P. aeruginosa to nonopsonic phagocytosis may provide a survival advantage to these bacteria early in the course of pulmonary infection before opsonic antibody and complement are present in respiratory secretions.

    abstract::The fibroblast of the fetal and neonatal lung is intimately involved with lung development and function. Additionally, the perinatal rat lung fibroblast is a significant source of prostaglandins (PG) I2 and E2, which in turn affect lung development and function. Their effects may be mediated by cAMP.
