Staphylococcus aureus exposure triggers Th17 response in effector T cells. mRNA expression (log2FPKM) of cutaneous effector T cells from specific pathogen-free (SPF) mice colonized with Staphylococcus aureus (SA), Staphylococcus epidermidis (SE), or none (SPF). Compared to the SPF control, the Stapylococcus aureus colonization triggers gene expression in a IL-17A (adj p value = 3.51e−7), b IL-17F (adj p value = 3.08e−6), c IL-23R (adj p value = 3.74e−8), and d IL-22 (adj p value = 1.01e09). Colonization with Staphylococcus epidermidis does not trigger Th17 response
