High lipoprotein expression and potent activation of host Toll-like receptor-2 (TLR2) are characteristic features of the staphylococcal species. Expression of TLR2 in the host is important for clearance of Staphylococcus aureus infection and host survival. Thus. we hypothesized that bacterial regulation of its intrinsic TLR2-stimulatory capacity could represent a means for immune evas... https://www.itsmajorlook.com/
