Bacillus cereus non-haemolytic enterotoxin activates the NLRP3 inflammasome

The Bacillus haemolytic enterotoxin haemolysin BL has been shown to activate the NLRP3 inflammasome. Here the authors show that a non-haemolytic enterotoxin (NHE) from B. cereus can also activate the NLRP3 inflammasome with a similar mechanism of lytic pore formation.
