Reactive nitrogen species in host-bacterial interactions.

Reactive nitrogen species in host-bacterial interactions. Curr Opin Immunol. 2019 Jun 11;60:96-102 Authors: Fang FC, Vázquez-Torres A Abstract Reactive nitrogen species play diverse and essential roles in host-pathogen interactions. Here, we review selected recent discoveries regarding nitric oxide (NO) in host defense and the pathogenesis of infection, mechanisms of bacterial NO resistance, production of NO by human macrophages, NO-based antimicrobial therapeutics and NO interactions with the gut microbiota.
