Description:
Article Gram-negative bacterial infections can often cause inflammation and pain. Meseguer et al . show that the inflammation and pain result from the direct activation of nociceptor TRPA1 channels by lipopolysaccharide, a major component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria.
