Figure 5. PBMCs from SSTI patients colonized with USA300 produce more IL-17, IL-22 and IL-10 cytokines than those from SSTI patients colonized with non-USA300.

Figure 5

PBMCs from SSTI patients were stimulated for 24h with USA300 MRSA sonicates (top panels) or anti-CD3 (bottom panels) and cytokine levels in the supernatants were determined by ELISA. Results from patients with documented colonization with USA300 were compared with those from patients with documented colonization with non-USA300 S. aureus strain types. Plots show Mean + SEM. * p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001 as determined by the Mann-Whitney test.
