Bacterial-induced cell fusion is a danger signal triggering cGAS–STING pathway via micronuclei formation
22 Jun 2020
Abstract excerpt
is the causative agent of melioidosis, an infectious disease in the tropics and subtropics with high morbidity and mortality. The facultative intracellular bacterium induces host cell fusion through its type VI secretion system 5 (T6SS5) as an important part of its pathogenesis in mammalian hosts. This allows it to spread intercellularly without encountering extracellular host defenses. We report that bacterial...
