Staphylococcus aureus is a frequent colonizer of human skin and mucous membranes, but its interaction with the host's anti-inflammatory mechanisms has been unclear. In 24 June advanced online Nature Medicine, Triantafyllos Chavakis and colleagues at Justus-Liebig-Universität, Giessen, Germany, show that Staphylococcus aureus extracellular adherence protein (Eap) is an anti-inflammatory factor that inhibits the recruitment of host leukocytes (Nat Med 2002, DOI:10.1038/nm728).
