Abstract EN
Staphylococcus aureus is a successful human and animal pathogen.
The majority of infections caused by this pathogen are life threatening, primarily because S.
aureus has developed multiple evasion strategies, possesses intracellular persistence for long periods, and targets the skin and soft tissues.
Therefore, it is very important to understand the mechanisms employed by S.
aureus to colonize and proliferate in these cells.
The aim of this review is to describe the recent discoveries concerning the host receptors of nonprofessional phagocytes involved in S.
aureus internalization.
Most of the knowledge related to the interaction of S.
aureus with its host cells has been described in professional phagocytic cells such as macrophages.
Here, we showed that in nonprofessional phagocytes the α5β1 integrin host receptor, chaperons, and the scavenger receptor CD36 are the main receptors employed during S.
aureus internalization.
The characterization and identification of new bacterial effectors and the host cell receptors involved will undoubtedly lead to new discoveries with beneficial purposes.
