S. aureus susceptibility of different mouse trains - (Jul/02/2010 )

Does anyone know whether NOD mouse strain is less susceptible to S.aureus infection than C57BL/6 or BALB/c?

This paper seems to compare c57 mice to NOD mice using one infection model:

This paper compares various genetic backgrounds using another infection model:

As does this one:

I found the first paper 3 days back and already read it. I think that's the most relevant to my question. We failed to observe an effect reported in the B6 mice in our NOD mice. I just wanted to know whether the reason may be that NOD mice have less susceptibility. But from the first paper I get the idea that they are as susceptible though it is not the same infection model nor the same S. aureus strain So still no answer.
