Citrobacter koseri stimulates dendritic cells to induce IL-33 expression via abundant ATP production.

Conclusion. C. koseri acts as an allergenic bacterium through ATP production, stimulating dendritic cells to induce IL-33 expression, while LPS released from inactivated C. koseri JCM1658 attenuates this allergenicity.
