Caspase-1-licensed pyroptosis drives dsRNA-mediated necroptosis and dampens host defense against bacterial pneumonia.

Bacterial lung infections cause severe host responses. Here, we showed that global deficiency of caspase-1 can protect against lethal pulmonary Escherichia coli infection by reducing the necroptosis of infiltrated neutrophils, which are key players in immune responses in the lung. Mechanistically, n...
