Mice deficient in phox (gp91phox-/-) or NOS2 (NOS2-/-) were infected with the agent of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE) to evaluate the importance of these pathways in the eradication of HGE bacteria. NOS2-/- mice had delayed clearance of the HGE agent in comparison to control or gp91phox-/- mice, suggesting that reactive nitrogen intermediates play a role in the early control of HGE.
