TL;DR: To the authors' knowledge, this is the first evidence that S. aureus directly interacts with PILRβ, which provides a mechanism by which manipulating the balance in favor of an inhibitory PilR signal, by activation of P ILRα or deletion of PILrβ, helps to control acute S.aureus-mediated pneumonia and attenuate the inflammatory response.
