Techniques that monitor the bacteria burden and a neutrophil respond simultaneously can provide insight into the mechanisms of Staph aureus persistence and the efficacy of treatment strategies. The main advantage of this technique is that multiple

An approach is described for real-time detection of the innate immune response to cutaneous wounding and Staphylococcus aureus infection of mice. By comparing LysM-EGFP mice (which possess fluorescent neutrophils) with a LysM-EGFP crossbred immunodeficient mouse strain, we advance our understanding of infection and the development of approaches to combat infection.
