Resistance of Bacteria to the Factors of the Innate Immune System, Mediated by Bacterial Proteases

Abstract

Tyurin YA and Mustafin IG

This analytical review presents the mechanisms used by opportunic pathogenic and obligate pathogenic bacteria to resist human innate immunity pressure. The main mechanisms of innate immune system and bacterial resistance are described. The main focus of this review is on the bacterial proteases involved in the resistance to the immune pressure.
