TY - JOUR AU - Hamza, Therwa AU - Li, Bingyun PY - 2014 DA - 2014/07/25 TI - Differential responses of osteoblasts and macrophages upon Staphylococcus aureus infection JO - BMC Microbiology SP - 207 VL - 14 IS - 1 AB - Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is one of the primary causes of bone infections which are often chronic and difficult to eradicate. Bacteria like S. aureus may survive upon internalization in cells and may be responsible for chronic and recurrent infections. In this study, we compared the responses of a phagocytic cell (i.e. macrophage) to a non-phagocytic cell (i.e. osteoblast) upon S. aureus internalization.
