Abstract
Editorial: Bacterial Exotoxins: How Bacteria Fight the Immune System
Highlights
Specialty section: This article was submitted to Microbial Immunology, a section of the journal Frontiers in Immunology
Bacterial toxins may mediate bacterial evasion of immune recognition, facilitate dwelling within protected niches of eukaryotic cells, or modulate pro-inflammatory responses
Toxins interact with specific eukaryotic target proteins to cause post-translational modifications of host proteins that often result in the manipulation of cellular signaling cascades and inflammatory responses [3]
Summary
Specialty section: This article was submitted to Microbial Immunology, a section of the journal Frontiers in Immunology. Upon infection with a bacterial pathogen, the body initiates both innate and adaptive immune responses with the ultimate goal to eliminate the invader and to return to homeostasis. Diverse toxins released by bacteria during infection can contribute considerably to the outcomes of the immune response.
