Abstract

Autophagy regulates the degradation of both cellular components and invading intracellular pathogens. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Maurer et al. (2015) reveal that cellular autophagy decreases host sensitivity to Staphylococcus aureus α-toxin via reduced expression of the toxin receptor ADAM10, thus rendering the host tolerant to disease.
