Host defences of conducting airways and alveoli. Host defences of conducting airways and alveoli. Conducting airways are lined by ciliated epithelium, which moves mucus generated by bronchiolar glands and goblet cells cephalad. Nontypable Haemophilus influenzae binds to mucus via pili and to respiratory epithelia via pili and nonpilus adhesins. Bacteria also penetrate epithelial cells. Bacteria may persist in the respiratory tract in biofilms. Airway macrophages ingest and kill small inocula of most inspired and airborne bacteria. Ingestion of microbes stimulates alveolar macrophages to produce tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), C-C and C-X-C chemokines and leukotriene B4 (LTB4), which mediate inflammatory responses in the airway and lower respiratory tract.
