Zinkernagel, A S; Hruz, P; Uchiyama, S; von Köckritz-Blickwede, M; Schuepbach, R A; Hayashi, T; Carson, D A; Nizet, V (2012). Importance of toll-like receptor 9 in host defense against M1T1 Group A Streptococcus infections. Journal of Innate Immunity, 4(2):213-218.
Timely recognition and elimination of invasive group A Streptococcus (GAS) by innate immunity is crucial to control infection. The intracellular pattern recognition receptor Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) promotes macrophage hypoxia-inducible factor-1α levels, oxidative burst and nitric oxide production in response to GAS. TLR9 contributes to GAS clearance in vivo in both localized cutaneous and systemic infection models.
