Glucocorticoids increase tissue cell protection against pore-forming toxins from pathogenic bacteria

Many species of pathogenic bacteria damage tissue cells by secreting toxins that form pores in plasma membranes. Here we show that glucocorticoids increase the intrinsic protection of tissue cells against pore-forming toxins. Dexamethasone protected several cell types against the cholesterol-depende...
