项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Morbidity and mortality of human newborns remain significant public health concerns. Streptococcus agalactiae or Group B Streptococcus (GBS) cause invasive infections such as pneumonia, sepsis and meningitis in human newborns. Moreover, GBS are a significant cause of in utero infections leading to preterm births and stillbirths. We recently showed that the pluripotent toxin important for GBS infections is an ornithine rhamnolipid pigment also known as granadaene. The pigment/lipid toxin is cytotoxic to a number of host cells and induces a proinflammatory immune response. The objective of this proposal is to understand how the pigment causes host cell lysis and induces an immune response and to also define how pigment mediated activation of host cells affects GBS colonization and infection-associated preterm births.

描述（由申请人提供）：人类新生儿的发病率和死亡率仍然是公共卫生的重大问题。链球菌Agalactiae或B组链球菌（GBS）引起侵袭性感染，例如人类新生儿的肺炎，败血症和脑膜炎。此外，GB是子宫感染导致早产和死胎的重要原因。我们最近表明，对GBS感染重要的多能毒素是一种鸟胺鼠注含色素，也称为Granadaene。色素/脂质毒素对许多宿主细胞具有细胞毒性，并诱导促炎性免疫反应。该提案的目的是了解色素如何引起宿主细胞裂解并诱导免疫反应，并定义颜料介导的宿主细胞的激活如何影响GBS定殖和与感染相关的早产。
