In Vitro 3D <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Abscess Communities Induce Bone Marrow Cells to Expand into Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells

<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> is the main causative pathogen of subcutaneous, bone, and implant-related infections, forming structures known as staphylococcal abscess communities (SACs) within tissues that also contain immunosuppressive myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). Although b...
