Multiple bacteria contribute to intraplaque T-cell activation in atherosclerosis

Background Infection with microorganisms is considered a pathogenic factor in atherogenesis. Several studies have shown the presence of a broad spectrum of bacterial species in atherosclerotic plaques, which could trigger local inflammation. Because T cells contribute to atherosclerotic plaque infl...
