mortality/aging
• following acute lethal MRSA infection initial hypothermia is similar to controls but only null mice show enhanced, significant recovery of core temperature by 24h post infection and more fully recover without antibiotic treatment
• when challenged with 3-fold higher inoculum mean time to death is longer compared to wild-type mice

immune system
• while early lesions are similar to controls, at 14 days after infection with S. aureus (WT USA300 LAC) lesions are resolved with significantly less tissue loss
