β-Defensins Coordinate In Vivo to Inhibit Bacterial Infections of the Trachea

β-defensins are predicted to play an important role in innate immunity against bacterial infections in the airway. We previously observed that a type III-secretion product of Bordetella bronchiseptica inhibits the NF-κB-mediated induction of a β-defensin in airway epithel...
