Toll like Receptor signalling by <i>Prevotella histicola</i> activates alternative NF-κB signalling in Cystic Fibrosis bronchial epithelial cells compared to <i>P.aeruginosa</i>
2020-06-24
Abstract excerpt
Cystic Fibrosis (CF), caused by mutations affecting the CFTR gene, is characterised by viscid secretions in multiple organ systems. CF airways contain thick mucus, creating a gradient of hypoxia, which promotes the establishment of polymicrobial infection. Such inflammation predisposes to further infection, a self-perpetuating cycle in mediated by NF-κB. Anaerobic Gram-negative Prevotella spp. are found in sputu...
