The opportunistic intracellular bacterial pathogen <i>Rhodococcus equi</i> elicits type I interferons by engaging cytosolic DNA sensing in macrophages
2021-03-29
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Rhodococcus equi is a major cause of foal pneumonia and an opportunistic pathogen in immunocompromised humans. While alveolar macrophages constitute the primary replicative niche for R. equi , little is known about how intracellular R. equi is sensed by macrophages. Here, we discovered that that in addition to previously characterized pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., Tnfa, Il6, Il1b), macroph...
