PGRP-SC1aZ2-4761 mutant adults phagocytose E.coli and B.subtilis normally, but phagocytosis of dead S.aureus particles is reduced. Survival of these flies following E.coli infection is as wild-type, but lethality occurs much sooner following S.aureus infection than in wild-type and no accumulation of live S.aureus in phagosomes can be seen 24 hours after infection.
