- TcpC is a protein made by a type of bacteria that can cause urinary tract infections and helps the bacteria escape the body's defenses.
- It works by attaching to a protein called MyD88, which is important for the immune system to work properly, and causing it to break down.
- The study shows that specific parts of TcpC are needed for it to destroy MyD88, which helps the bacteria avoid being fought off by the immune system.
