Neutrophils Directly Recognize Group B Streptococci and Contribute to Interleukin-1β Production during Infection.

Neutrophils Directly Recognize Group B Streptococci and Contribute to Interleukin-1β Production during Infection.

Previous studies have shown that the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1β has a crucial role in host defenses against group B streptococcus (GBS), a frequent human pathogen, by recruiting neutrophils to infection sites. We examined here the cell types and mechanisms involved in IL-1β production during in...
