Abstract

Becoming covered in platelets rescues complement-opsonized blood-borne bacteria from rapid clearance by macrophages and redirects them to dendritic cells. Although this allows priming of T cells and the generation of immune memory, bacteria can exploit this route as a beachhead and disseminate throughout host tissues.
