Abstract
Most bacterial and fungal pathogens cause disease across mucosal, and to a lesser extent, skin barriers with the help of induced chemokines from epithelial cells. In this study, we showed that potential vaginal pathogens
Staphylococcus aureus
, group A and B streptococci, some
Enterococcus faecalis
strains,
Escherichia coli
, and
Candida albicans
use the immune costimulatory molecule CD40 to induce the chemokine interleukin-8 production.
