Heme drives hemolysis-induced susceptibility to infection via disruption of phagocyte functions.
Hemolysis drives susceptibility to bacterial infections and predicts poor outcome from sepsis. These detrimental effects are commonly considered a consequence of heme-iron serving as a nutrient for bacteria. Here, we employed a Gram-negative sepsis model and found that elevated heme levels impaired...
