Bacillus cereus is one of the leading etiological agents of toxin‐induced foodborne
diseases. Its omnipresence in different environments, spore formation, and its ability to adapt …

Activation of the Nod-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome
drives release of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 and induces …

The toxin-producing bacterium Bacillus cereus is an important and neglected human
pathogen and a common cause of food poisoning. Several toxins have been implicated in …

The ubiquitous soil bacterium Bacillus cereus presents major challenges to food safety. It is
responsible for two types of food poisoning, the emetic form due to food intoxication and the …

The Bacillus cereus group, also known as B. cereus sensu lato (sl), is a species complex
that contains numerous closely related lineages, which vary in their ability to cause illness in …

Sepsis is defined as a life-threatening organ dysfunction induced by a dysregulated host
immune response to infection. Immune response induced by sepsis is complex and …

Inflammasomes are cytosolic signaling complexes capable of sensing microbial ligands to
trigger inflammation and cell death responses. Here, we show that guanylate-binding …

Inflammasome sensors activate cellular signaling machineries to drive inflammation and cell
death processes. Inflammasomes also control the development of certain diseases …

Pore-forming toxins (PFTs) are widely distributed in both Gram-negative and Gram-positive
bacteria. PFTs can act as virulence factors that bacteria utilise in dissemination and host …
