    Keywords : Staphylococcus aureus; Interleukin-17A; Interleukin-15; arthritis; osteoclasts; IL-23;

    Abstract : Staphylococcus aureus–induced arthritis leads to severe joint destruction and high mortality despite antibiotic treatment. Thus, there is a need to identify new treatment targets in addition to antibiotic therapy. Interleukin (IL)-15 has been implicated both in osteoclastogenesis and in bacterial clearance – two important issues in S. READ MORE

    Abstract : The emergence of new type of drugs known as biologics has led to rapid disease improvements in many autoimmune arthritic patients. Nevertheless, most of these biologics are immunomodulators that may consequently increase the susceptibility of patients towards infections, such as septic arthritis. READ MORE
