    Summary: This volume details our current understanding of the architecture and signaling capabilities of known canonical and non-canonical inflammasome complexes and highlights their action, in particular in response to infection with important bacterial model organisms and the corresponding disease pathologies. The first chapters review new insights into the assembly and structures of inflammasome components and emphasize general strategies of up- and downstream signaling events. In addition, the authors specifically discuss the composition and activity of inflammasomes during infection with various gut pathogens (Salmonella, Shigella, Yersinia, Listeria and Helicobacter), respiratory pathogens (Mycobacterium, Legionella, Burkholderia and Streptococcus) as well as skin and soft tissue pathogens (Francisella and Staphylococcus). The discoveries presented provide a better understanding of the cellular and molecular biology of inflammasomes, which will pinpoint important new therapeutic targets for the treatment and prevention of multiple infectious diseases in the future.

    Quinoline, recently reported to be carcinogenic in rats [12], was mutagenic to Salmonella typhimurium tester strains TA100 and TA98 in the presence of the metabolic activation system S-9 mix. 2-Chloroquinoline, a non-carcinogen [12], was non-mutagenic with or without S-9 mix. 8-Hydroxyquinoline, which is t known to be carcinogenic, was mutagenic with S-9 mix to both bacterial strains. The mutagenicities of 17 other quinoline derivatives that are not known to be carcinogenic were tested, and 12 of these compounds were mutagenic.
