Bacillus anthracis spores and lethal toxin induce IL-1β via functionally distinct signaling pathways

Previous reports suggested that lethal toxin (LT)-induced caspase-1 activity and/or IL-1β accounted for Bacillus anthracis (BA) infection lethality. In contrast, we now report that caspase-1-mediated IL-1β expression in response to BA spores is required for anti-BA host defenses. Caspase-1(−/−) and...
