Objectives: To determine if differences in drug-related Staphylococcus aureus killing, associated in vivo with neutropenia, is neutrophil-related in vitro, and the mechanisms of this interaction.Methods: To evaluate the influence of living neutrophils on drug-S. aureus interactions, cell wall enzymes, the PBPs, were isolated and their binding to five (beta lactam and other) antibiotics was evaluated following incubation (or not) with neutrophils. S. aureus killing by the test drugs was assayed in growth media of sterile filtered abscess fluid, either neutropenic infected or normal infected. At MBCs for the test isolate, each drug or saline control was incubated with S. aureus 106 and dilution-plated.Results: Neutrophil incubation with S. aureus eliminated the S. aureus PBP-2 band in all Western blots irrespective of the drug used to tag the PBPs. Time-kill of S. aureus grown in neutropenic or normal abscess fluid showed greater kill by all drugs in neutropenic abscess fluid (p=0.029 6 h incubation). Killing difference between the media correlates with drug PBP-2 activity.Conclusions: Drug activity against S. aureus in vitro is changed by neutrophil incubation. The neutrophil-induced toss of S. aureus PBP-2 drug binding suggests novel host-bacterial. interaction that may impinge on drug treatment of S. aureus infections.
