Interaction of Mycobacteria With Host Cell Inflammasomes
14 Feb 2022
Abstract excerpt
The inflammasome complex is important for host defense against intracellular bacterial infections. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a facultative intracellular bacterium which is able to survive in infected macrophages. Here we discuss how the host cell inflammasomes sense Mtb and other related mycobacterial species. Furthermore, we describe the molecular mechanisms of NLRP3 inflammasome sensing of Mtb which...
