Microbes and the fate of neutrophils

Scott D. Kobayashi et al.

Summary: Neutrophils are an important component of innate host defense, with a high production rate and rapid mobilization to infected tissues. They contain abundant antimicrobial molecules, but their turnover and activation are tightly regulated. Microbial pathogens can affect the apoptosis and cytolysis of neutrophils, altering their function.
