Inflammation is directly triggered by bacteria as pathogens invading the body [1], with the immune system responding to bacterial infections by releasing cytokines from white blood cells [2] and sending white blood cells to clear bacteria and debris during wound healing [3]. Multiple facts confirm bacteria as a key cause or target of the inflammatory response, such as in gut breaches [4], compromised barriers [5], and fighting off invaders {fact:8,9,10,11,12}.
