Group B streptococcal membrane vesicles induce proinflammatory cytokine production and are sensed in an NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent mechanism in human macrophages

This study shows that GBS membrane vesicles induce proinflammatory cytokines in macrophages via NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent mechanisms, suggesting potential for immunotherapeutic targeting.
