Granulomas often form around pathogens that cause chronic infections. Here, we discover a novel granuloma model in mice. Chromobacterium violaceum is an environmental bacterium that stimulates granuloma formation that not only successfully walls off but also clears the infection. The infected lesion can arise from a single bacterium that replicates in the presence of a neutrophil swarm. Bacterial replication ceases when macrophages organize around the infection and form a granuloma. This granuloma response is accomplished independently of adaptive immunity that is typically required to organize granulomas. The C. violaceum-induced granuloma requires at least two separate defense pathways, gasdermin D and iNOS, to maintain the integrity of the granuloma architecture. These innate granulomas successfully eradicate C. violaceum infection. Therefore, this new C. violaceum-induced granuloma model demonstrates that innate immune cells successfully organize a granuloma and thereby eradicate infection by an environmental pathogen.
