Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Pathology scoring and ear thickness measurements in mice uninfected or infected with either L. major alone or with both S. aureus colonization and L. major infection (Wilcoxon, * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01; mean ± SD representative of 2 experiments; L. major-S. aureus treatment, IL-1β –/– mouse, n = 8 mice, and all other conditions , n = 6 mice). (B) Bacterial burden (CFUs) and L. major parasite burden at day 7 post- L. major infection (Wilcoxon, * p < 0.05). (C) Flow cytometric analysis of immune cell recruitment (Ly6G+, CD4 + , and CD8 + cells) in infected ear skin (Wilcoxon, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001; mean representative of 2 experiments; L. major-S. aureus treatment , IL-1β –/– mouse, n = 8 mice and all other conditions , n = 6 mice). (D) Percentage of immune cells recruited to the site of infection in mice infected with L. major with and without colonization of S. aureus . (E) Pie chart showing percentage of IL-1β+ cells that co-stain with neutrophils, macrophages, monocytes, and unidentified cells at 7 days post-infection. Based on flow cytometric data.
