To deal with an infection, the organism resorts to nonmutually exclusive strategies: resistance, that is, neutralization or destruction of the pathogen; or tolerance, the ability to withstand damages inflicted by the pathogen or by host defense. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Shinzawa et al. (2009) identify p38-mediated phagocytic encapsulation as a potential tolerance mechanism.
为应对感染,生物体采取多种并非相互排斥的策略:抗性,即中和或破坏病原体;或者耐受性,即承受病原体或宿主防御造成损害的能力。在本期《细胞宿主与微生物》中,Shinzawa等人(2009年)确定p38介导的吞噬包裹是一种潜在的耐受机制。
