Early bacterial clearance from murine lungs. Species-dependent phagocyte response.
TLDR
Findings indicate that circulating granulocytes play a major role in the clearance of the latter two organisms, suggesting that the defense of the lung against pathogenic bacteria is more complex than has been previously assumed.Abstract:
Two sets of phagocytic cells are available to defend the lung against inhaled bacteria. Both resident alveolar macrophages and granulocytes from the circulation have been observed in pulmonary air spaces after the deposition of bacteria; their functional roles, however, have been defined. We rendered mice selectively granulocytopenic with heterologous antiserum in order to ascertain the relative contributions of these two groups of cells in intrapulmonary bacterial killing. The clearance of Staphylococcus aureus was unimpaired in granulocytopenic animals, confirming the primary role of the alveolar macrophages in the killing of these organisms. In contrast, granulocytopenic animals cleared only 10.0+/-7.0% of an inoculum of Klebsiella pneumoniae compared with 33.0+/-4.0% clearance in normal animals (P < 0.02), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa proliferated to 513% of baseline levels in granulocytopenic animals, whereas normal mice cleared 26.8+/-10.6% of the inoculum. These findings indicate that circulating granulocytes play a major role in the clearance of the latter two organisms. This variation in cellular response to different bacterial species suggests that the defense of the lung against pathogenic bacteria is more complex than has been previously assumed.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, a global Delphi study, a multidisciplinary group of experts developed consensus statements and recommendations, which a larger group of collaborators reviewed over three rounds until consensus was achieved.

Cutting Edge: Myeloid Differentiation Factor 88 Is Essential for Pulmonary Host Defense against Pseudomonas aeruginosa but Not Staphylococcus aureus
TL;DR: Whereas MyD88-dependent signaling is integral to the initiation of cytokine and inflammatory responses to both pathogens following infection of the lower respiratory tract, MyD 88 is essential for innate immunity to P. aeruginosa but not S. aureus.

Protective effects of tumor necrosis factor in experimental Legionella pneumophila infections of mice via activation of PMN function
TL;DR: The data suggest that the induction of TNF by Legionella bacteria during infection are involved in the non‐specific host defense mechanisms, and that PMN activated by the TNF may be instrumental in clearing the organism from infected lung tissues, thereby protecting the animal.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that i.t. administration of CpG ODN can stimulate multiple components of innate immunity in the lung, and may form the basis for novel therapies directed at enhancing protective immune responses to severe bacterial infections of the lung.

New sampler for the collection, sizing, and enumeration of viable airborne particles.
TL;DR: From these and many other references it is obvious that any instrument used to assess the health hazard or infection potential of particulate aerosols should determine the number and the size3 of the airborne particles.
