Activation of NLRP3 by uropathogenic Escherichia coli is associated with IL-1β release and regulation of antimicrobial properties in human neutrophils

Abstract The NLRP3 inflammasome and IL-1β have recently been linked to the severity of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC)-mediated urinary tract infection (UTI). However, not much is known about the contribution of NLRP3 to the antimicrobial properties of neutrophils and the release of IL-1β duri...
