“…In rodents, TLR5 is critical for mucosal intrinsic defense activity of Salmonella enterica , P. aeruginosa , S. pneumoniae , and uropathogenic E. coli [ 150 , 151 ]. After bacterial recognition, plasma membrane-bound TLR5 recruits MyD88, followed by activation of NF- κ B through IRAKs, TRAF6, TAK1, and I κ B kinase (IKK) complexes to induce expression of inflammatory cytokines and chemokine gene, such as IL-8, IL-6, TNF- α , CXCL1, CXCL2, and CCL20 [ 152 – 155 ] ( Figure 1 ).…”
