CD11b, which is encoded by Itgam, is expressed on the surface of macrophages and has
been implicated in adhesion, migration, and cell-mediated cytotoxicity. However, the
functional impact of CD11b on the inflammatory responses of macrophages upon microbial
infection remains unclear. Here, we show that CD11b deficiency resulted in increased
susceptibility to sepsis induced by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) …
