The role of Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin B in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis

Zahra Chegini et al.

Summary: Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps (CRSwNP) is a multifactorial disease, and bacterial superantigens such as Staphylococcus aureus are known to play a role in its development. Specifically, Staphylococcus aureus nasal colonization and IgE response to Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxins have been found in CRSwNP patients. Among the enterotoxins, enterotoxin B (SEB) has been identified as a key player in the pathogenesis of CRSwNP by disrupting mucosal integrity and triggering inflammatory responses. SEB activates Toll Like Receptor 2, leading to the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and induces cellular stress and oxidative damage. It also promotes eosinophil degranulation and localized eosinophilic inflammation. Furthermore, SEB may be involved in the regulation of immune cells and maintenance of sinonasal mucosal inflammation. While in vitro and animal studies have provided valuable insights, further research is needed to fully understand the role of SEB in CRSwNP.

Muhammad Idrees et al.

Summary: Staphylococcus aureus biofilm provides a protective environment for bacterial cells, leading to reduced effectiveness of antibacterial drugs and contributing to the rise of antimicrobial resistance. This increased resistance has resulted in higher morbidity and mortality rates globally, as well as significant financial losses to the global economy.
