Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 2. S. aureus triggers IL-1β to establish early inflammation and pathology during an L. major infection (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.
