Abstract excerpt
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have recently garnered attention for their participation in host-microbe interactions in pneumococcal infections. However, the effect of EVs on the host immune system remain poorly understood. Our studies focus on EVs produced by Streptococcus pneumoniae (pEVs), and reveal that pEVs are internalized by macrophages, T cells, and epithelial cells. In vitro, pEVs induce NF-κB activation...
