Role played by Toll-like receptors 2 and 4 in lipoteichoic acid-induced lung inflammation and coagulation

The cell wall of Streptococcus pneumoniae consists of lipoteichoic acid (LTA), which is released when pneumococci are killed by either the host immune system or antibiotic treatment. Release of excessive amounts of LTA has been implicated in the toxic sequelae of severe gram-positive infection by vi...
