Nociceptive Sensory Neurons Mediate Inflammation Induced by Bacillus Anthracis Edema Toxin

Bacterial products are able to act on nociceptive neurons during pathogenic infection. Neurogenic inflammation is an active part of pain signaling and has recently been shown to impact host-pathogen defense. Bacillus anthracis Edema Toxin (ET) produces striking edema in peripheral tissues, but the c...
