Abstract

Bacterial infections are predominant worldwide and Staphylococcus aureus is very relevant in current context. Most infections are caused by the pathogen through skin or mucus. Neutrophils and lymphocytes are basic cells in the control of these infections. A lymphocyte sub-population was recently revealed to be related to the production of high amounts of interleukin (IL) 17, and other cytokines such as IL-21, IL-22 and IL-23. The cellular sub-type was called T helper 17 cells, related to recruitment of neutrophils for the infected sites and with the protecting immunity mechanisms against extracellular pathogens. However, the interaction between neutrophils and lymphocytes Th 17 is only scantily known. Current paper agglutinates important aspects linked to the development of immune responses mediated by T helper 17 lymphocytes against S. aureus.
