- Abstract
This document is an editorial published in Frontiers in Immunology titled "Inflammasomes in infectious diseases, cell death and ROS generation: stimulation by microorganisms and membrane-derived microvesicles." The editorial discusses the role of inflammasomes, which are innate immune mechanisms that promote inflammation and are associated with cell death, in infectious diseases. It highlights the activation and regulation of inflammasomes during infections with different microorganisms and explores their potential as therapeutic targets. The editorial also includes reviews on the host defense mechanisms against specific pathogens, the diagnostic application of exosomes in tuberculosis, and the causal relationship between the gut microbiota and sepsis-related death. Overall, the editorial provides important insights into the field of microbial immunology and its implications for the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of infectious diseases.
