Abstract

In their recent paper in Science, Thammavongsa et al. demonstrate how Staphylococcus aureus degrades the DNA of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) into 2'-deoxy-adenosine, which causes incoming macrophages to go into apoptosis, thereby increasing the chance for the bacterium to survive in an abscess.
