Article Synopsis
- The CCR5 receptor is linked to susceptibility to Staphylococcus aureus leukotoxin ED, and researchers investigated the effects of the CCR5Δ32 deletion on S. aureus infection and nasal carriage in a large Danish blood donor study.
- Analysis involved over 95,000 participants, examining various health outcomes and inflammatory markers through sophisticated statistical methods.
- Findings indicated that CCR5Δ32 does not significantly affect the risk of S. aureus-related infections or nasal carriage, although it was associated with higher levels of certain chemokines in individuals with the deletion.
