T‐2 Toxin Exploits Gut‐Derived Staphylococcus Saprophyticus to Disrupt Hepatic Macrophage Homeostasis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
T‐2 toxin promotes the proliferation of intestinal S. saprophyticus and facilitates its translocation to the liver in piglets and mice. The translocated bacteria trigger autophagy in Kupffer cells and recruit monocytes to the liver through the nucleotide‐binding oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2) signaling pathway, alongside the M1 polarization of hepatic
