Brief CommunicationSelective Inhibition of Sialic Acid-Based Molecular Mimicry in Haemophilus influenzae Abrogates Serum Resistance

Add time:08/25/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

SummaryPathogens such as non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) evade the immune system by presenting host-derived sialic acids. NTHi cannot synthesize sialic acids and therefore needs to utilize sialic acids originating from host tissue. Here we report sialic acid-based probes to visualize and inhibit the transfer of host sialic acids to NTHi. Inhibition of sialic acid utilization by NTHi enhanced serum-mediated killing. Furthermore, in an in vitro model of the human respiratory tract, we demonstrate efficient inhibition of sialic acid transfer from primary human bronchial epithelial cells to NTHi using bioorthogonal chemistry.
