چکیده انگلیسی
The prevalence of infections with enterococci is increasing worldwide. However, little is known about the mechanisms which enable these opportunistic pathogens to cause infections of their host. Here we demonstrate that Enterococcus faecium in the presence of lysozyme induces necrosis in human and mouse cells after 4Â h indicated by disrupted cellular membranes of epithelial (HeLa), myeloid (U937, J774A.1) and lymphoid (Jurkat J16, thymocytes), but not intestinal epithelial cells (CaCo-2, CMT-93). Using an appropriate mutant strain it was shown that the enterococcal surface-protein SgrA is involved in cell death induction in mouse cells (J774A.1, thymocytes). Microscopic analyses of epithelial cells 30Â min post infection revealed that lysozyme increases adhesion of E. faecium to HeLa, but not CaCo-2 cells. At that time the phalloidin-FITC-stained cytoskeleton of infected cells was still intact, whereas 2Â h post infection the F-actin network of HeLa, but not CaCo-2 cells was disrupted. Hence, the early, lysozyme-mediated increase of bacterial adherence plays an important role for cell death induction by E. faecium in HeLa cells. Moreover, bacterial extracellular hydrogen peroxide might contribute to necrosis induction, since the rate of propidium iodide-positive HeLa and J774A.1 cells was lowered after infection with a ROS-deficient E. faecium mutant.
