A novel animal model for subcutaneous soft tissue infection

In order to simultaneously monitor neutrophil migration in vivo during inflammation, we developed a novel animal model for subcutaneous soft tissue infection using transgenic mouse bearing fluorescence-positive neutrophils and bioluminescent methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Metho...

Methods: Eight to nine-week-old male lys-EGFP C57BL/6 were anesthetized (50 mg/kg pentobarbital sodium, ip) and 1.0 ×107 CFU of bioluminescent MRSA (Xen31, PerkinElmer) were subcutaneously injected.
