The bacterial host response is the process by which the host interacts with, and responds to, bacteria that colonize or infect it. This includes defense mechanisms such as the immune response.

The enzymes produced by the phage gradually weaken the bacterial cell wall and eventually the bacterial cells lyse, releasing on average 100-200 phage progeny into the surrounding environment. Due to ...

It was surprising to see the ER stably associating around the bacteria. As a cytosolic pathogen that exists freely in the cytosol of the cells it infects, it was also unexpected to see R.

The epigenetic changes induced by the translocated gut bacteria generate "trained" immune cells primed to respond more efficiently to future infections. However, this same ability to amplify the ...
