Lung phagocyte bactericidal function in strains of mice resistant and susceptible to Pseudomonas aeruginosa
C Morissette et al. Infect Immun. 1996 Dec.
Abstract
The host response to Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection varies among inbred mouse strains. Mice of the BALB/c strain are resistant to P. aeruginosa lung infection, whereas mice of the DBA/2 strain are susceptible. This phenotypic variation correlates with a difference in the magnitude of the inflammatory response induced early following infection. In order to determine whether the ability of lung phagocytic cells to kill P. aeruginosa plays a role in the host response to the infection, we measured the in vitro bactericidal activity of resident and inflammatory alveolar and interstitial macrophages, using a temperature-sensitive mutant of P. aeruginosa. Lung macrophages obtained from resistant and susceptible animals displayed similar bactericidal activities, suggesting that the ability of phagocytes to kill P. aeruginosa does not play a crucial role in the outcome of infection. The bactericidal activity of lung phagocytes was also assessed in vivo following endobronchial infection with the temperature-sensitive mutant of P. aeruginosa. Resistant mice showed a rapid influx of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) to the bronchoalveolar space which was shortly followed by an efficient clearance of the bacteria. Susceptible mice had a delay in both the inflammatory response to P. aeruginosa and the initiation of bacterial clearance. Susceptible mice have been shown to have a defect in tumor necrosis factor alpha production when infected intratracheally with P. aeruginosa. Intratracheal instillation of tumor necrosis factor alpha to susceptible mice at the time of infection significantly improved the recruitment of PMNs to the site of infection without affecting the process of bacterial clearance. Overall, these results suggest that both recruitment of a high number of PMNs to the lungs and an efficient activation process of the phagocytes are crucial for the prompt clearance of P. aeruginosa.
