Abstract

Bacterial diversity, tight regulation of Toll-like receptor function, and the variation of cellular phenotypes dependent on the local microenvironment, are increasingly recognized as key factors in maintaining immune homeostasis. Here we discuss bacterial and host factors important for a balanced immune response during infection.
