Phagosomal Acidification Is Required to Kill Streptococcus pneumoniae in a Zebrafish Model

Phagosomal Acidification Is Required to Kill Streptococcus pneumoniae in a Zebrafish Model

Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) is a major human pathogen causing invasive disease, including community-acquired bacteraemia, and remains a leading cause of global mortality. Understand...

Macrophages target Salmonella by Lc3-associated phagocytosis in a systemic infection model

Macrophages target Salmonella by Lc3-associated phagocytosis in a systemic infection model

Innate immune defense against intracellular pathogens, like Salmonella, relies heavily on the autophagy machinery of the host. This response is studied intensively in epithelial cells, the target o...
