Epithelial Toll-Like Receptor 9 Upregulation by Influenza Virus Impairs Pulmonary Antibacterial Immunity 2303048

Influenza is often complicated by bacterial coinfections. Among the most common is methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Viruses and bacteria are recognized by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) such as Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9). Most studies have focused on TLR9 function in immune cells. In contrast, its r...
