Invasive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) disease is associated with neutrophil activity and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression, including interferon-gamma (IFN gamma). Using a mouse model of S. aureus peritonitis, we identify neutrophils as the predominant source of IFN gamma and link this induction with the SaeR/S two-component gene regulatory system. Relative to wild-type (BALB/c) mice, IFN gamma-deficient mice demonstrated increased bacterial clearance and reduced cellular cytotoxicity following intraperitoneal challenge with S. aureus. Interestingly, bacterial burden and cytotoxicity were similar in BALB/c and IFN gamma-deficient mice when infected with an isogenic saeR/S mutant strain. These findings suggest saeR/S-mediated neutrophil-derived IFN gamma diminishes innate antibacterial mechanisms against S. aureus.
