Five male patients from four different families presented with a clinical record of chronic granulomatous disease (CGD): recurrent infections of the skin and/or respiratory tract with catalase-positive microorganisms, sometimes in combination with granulomata and/or abscesses in various organs.
The PerR-regulated katA gene encodes the sole catalase of S. aureus, which is an important starvation survival determinant but is surprisingly not required for pathogenicity in a murine skin abscess model of infection.
Furthermore, an E. coli wild-type strain that did not induce abscess formation in the synergy model was transformed with a plasmid encoding the hbp gene, and mixed infections with this strain lead to increased growth of B. fragilis and induction of abscess lesions.

During intestinal inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) there is increased paracellular permeability and strong migration of the neutrophils into the mucosa as well as transepithelial neutrophil migration with the formation of crypt abscesses.
Multivariate analysis showed that presence of immature polymorphonuclear leukocytes in peripheral blood (odds ratio [OR], 3.67; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.08-12.63), high C-reactive protein levels (>12 mg/dL) (OR, 5.24; 95% CI, 1.10-24.93), and no underlying disease at presentation (OR, 5.48; 95% CI, 1.06-28.25) were independent predictors of the occurrence of necrosis or/and abscess.
In a series of 40 surgical specimens, including gliomas, vascular malformations, abscesses and angiomas, the glial reaction has been studied by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence of Nestin, GFAP and Vimentin.
A significant association was observed between the occurrence of the GG genotype or the G allele expression of the polymorphic locus-174 (G/C) of the IL6 gene, and the presence of the symptomatic dental abscesses in women and in individuals < or =35 years old.
All isolates were rapidly growing nonpigmented mycobacteria and presented a pattern by PCR-restriction enzyme analysis of the hsp65 gene with BstEII of bands of 235 and 210 bp and with HaeIII of bands of 200, 70, 60, and 50 bp, which is common to Mycobacterium abscessus type 2, Mycobacterium bolletii, and Mycobacterium massiliense. hsp65 and rpoB gene sequencing of a subset of 20 isolates was used to discriminate between these three species. hsp65 and rpoB sequences chosen at random from 11 of the 58 isolates from surgical patients and the postinjection abscess isolate presented the highest degrees of similarity with the corresponding sequences of M. massiliense.
Furthermore, IL-8 and TNF-alpha expression and nuclear phosphorylated NF-kappaB p65 expression could be immunohistochemically confirmed in inflamed epithelium with cryptitis or crypt abscess in UC patients.
