Abstract

Organisms resist bacterial infection at many levels. One of the least understood is the collective action of cells to limit pathogen spread. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Bastounis et al. (2021) describe the extrusion of Listeria monocytogenes from an epithelial monolayer by surrounding bystander cells.
