Brief summary

An inflammatory state of the nasal cells (very close to keratinocytes) could favour the internalization of Staphylococcus aureus and thus constitute a persistent reservoir for the carriage of this bacterium. Staphylococcus aureus is a commensal bacterium of the skin and mucous membranes that colonizes approximately 2 billion people worldwide Staphylococcus aureus is also a leading cause of community and healthcare-associated infection. Staphylococcus aureus has demonstrated its ability to invade many non-professional phagocytic cell lines such as keratinocytes, osteoblasts, fibroblasts, epithelial cells and endothelial cells. During pro-inflammatory stimulation, internalization of Staphylococcus aureus into keratinocytes is mainly mediated by ICAM-1. These results suggest that, in humans, an inflammatory state of the nasal cells (very close to keratinocytes) could promote the internalization of Staphylococcus aureus and thus constitute a persistent reservoir for the carriage of this bacterium.

Detailed description

The main objective is to compare the expression level of ICAM-1 in nasal cells with and without the presence of Staphylococcus aureus.
