Resumo(s)

The Host presents different innate immune components to fight bacterial infections, most of which are evolutionary conserved strategies. Conversely, Bacteria present numerous mechanisms of virulence and evasion, transversal to different bacterial species, that confer resistance or subvert the activity of the Host components. This thesis presents a study on how the Host perceives the Bacteria and reacts to them and how the Bacteria protect themselves from those responses.(...)
