Figure Lengend Snippet: IFN-γR1 signaling prevents S. aureus outgrowth during craniotomy infection. Ifngr1 −/− ( n = 16) and WT ( n = 15–17) mice were subjected to craniotomy infection and sacrificed at days 7 and 14 post-infection, where ( A ) bacterial burdens and immune cell ( D-F , J-L ) percentages and ( G-I , M-O ) absolute counts were quantified from the brain, galea, and bone flap. Data pooled from three independent experiments (mean ± SEM) and analyzed by multiple unpaired t -test. ( B-C ) Intracellular bacterial burden in ( B ) Ly6G + granulocytes from the galea and ( C ) F4/80 + microglia/macrophages from the brains of WT and Ifngr1 −/− mice was assessed at day 14 post-infection using gentamicin protection assays. Data are from one experiment (mean ± SD) and analyzed by two-tailed Student’s t-test. Mono, monocyte; MΦ, macrophage; MG, microglia; Bone, bone flap; *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01; ***, p < 0.001; ****, p < 0.0001
