Although Staphylococcus aureus is best known for infecting humans, bovine-specific strains are a major cause of mastitis in dairy cattle. The bicomponent leukocidin LukMF?, exclusively harbored by S. aureus of ruminant origin, is a virulence factor associated with bovine infections. In this study, the molecular basis of the host specificity of LukMF? is elucidated by identification of chemokine receptor CCR1 as its target. Bovine neutrophils, the major effector cells in the defense against staphylococci, express significant cell surface levels of CCR1, whereas human neutrophils do not. This causes the particular susceptibility of bovine neutrophils to pore formation induced by LukMF?. Bovine S. aureus strains produce high levels of LukMF? in vitro. In culture supernatant of the mastitis field isolate S1444, LukMF? was the most important cytotoxic agent for bovine neutrophils. In a fibrin gel matrix, the effects of the in situ secreted toxins on neutrophils migrating toward S. aureus were visualized. Under these physiological ex vivo conditions, bovine S. aureus S1444 efficiently killed approaching neutrophils at a distance through secretion of LukMF?. Altogether, our findings illustrate the coevolution of pathogen and host, provide new targets for therapeutic and vaccine approaches to treat staphylococcal diseases in the cow, and emphasize the importance of staphylococcal toxins in general.
