Abstract

Objective: To establish a model of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) pneumonia and observe the effect of MRSA on macrophage polarization. Methods: The MRSA pneumonia model is established by adding 1×108CFU/mL MRSA bacterial solution to BALB/c mice through nasal drip. To make pathological specimens of lung tissue and observe the inflammation of the lungs;to detect the expression of F4/80, CD11B, CD206, and CD86 in mouse lung tissue through flow cytometry to reflect the polarization of macrophages and their M1/M2.

Result: Compared with the uninfected group, macrophages have increased significantly in infected group; The expression of CD206 in macrophages has significantly enhanced after infection, indicating the macrophage polarization towards M2;

Conclusion: MRSA pulmonary infection leads to a significant infiltration of macrophages in lung tissue and their polarization towards the M2 phenotype.
