Evasion of phagocytosis appears to be mediated in Yersinia enterocolitica first by adhesion to the phagocyte cell surface through the actions of the Inv or YadA adhesins or by opsonization. Thereafter, expression of the injectisome and injection of the Yop (yersinia outer proteins) -E, -H, -O, and -T effectors mediate changes in PMN actin polymerization that suppress effective phagocytosis

Anaplasma phagocytophila infection in mice generates a heterogeneous population of PMN with variable capacity to express a respiratory burst. The fraction of PMN with a functional burst depends on the duration of the infection and the capacity of the mouse to secrete interferon-γ.

With different methodology, these authors observed an exaggerated respiratory burst in PMN exposed to E. coli LPS immediately after the addition of anaplasma. By 3 hours of Anaplasma infection, the burst response to LPS was blunted and by 5 hours it was absent, suggesting a slow onset but progressive Anaplasma effect on PMN respiratory burst capacity.

Infect Immun 2002, 70:2128-2138. Identifies DNA sequence suggesting the presence of a type IV secretion system in Anaplasma phagocytophilum. The genes are organized in an operon that begins with a superoxide dismutase gene, sodB. The organization suggests that the operon may be activated in response to oxidative stress.

Pyruvate dehydrogenase is connected to the glyoxylate pathway (see [14]). This study identified an unexpected connection between the aceB gene and activation of type III secretion in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Because the glyoxylate pathway is activated in some microbes after phagocytosis, this may be a mechanism connecting phagocytosis and activation of secretion.

J Clin Invest 2002, 110:1151-1163. RNA expression changes in uropathogenic E. coli ingested by PMN identified an antioxidant defense program that, when deleted, rendered bacteria more susceptible to killing by PMN oxygen-dependent microbicidal systems. The requirement for antioxidant proteins is different in E. coli and Salmonella species (see references below), emphasizing the diversity of microbial responses to similar environmental challenges.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2003, 100:1996-2001. RNA expression changes in Streptococcus pyogenes ingested by PMN identified a two-component sensor kinase transcription system that, when deleted, rendered bacteria more susceptible to killing by PMN. Participation of these genes in defense against phagocytosis was unanticipated. Transcript levels were elevated in exudates of individuals with Streptococcus pyogenes pharyngitis, suggesting relevance to human infection. The function of the genes is not clear.
