Constitutive
host defense mechanisms provided by LCs give baseline protection during relatively low microbial exposures.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa has become an important cause of infection, especially in patients with compromised
host defense mechanisms. It has an ability to rapidly develop resistance to multiple classes of antibiotics.
However, some pathogens have also the capacity to overcome neutrophil-mediated
host defense mechanisms and establish infections leading to disease.
Dvorak and colleagues (18) concluded more than 35 years ago that
host defense mechanisms are not impaired in patients with HS.
