The innate immune system senses bacterial pathogens by employing pattern recognition receptors that detect pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and guard proteins that monitor pathogen disru...

Respiratory infections are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, as evidenced by the COVID-19 and tuberculosis pandemics (1, 2). More than 4 million people die annually due to respirat...
