| Abstract | The failure of conventional vaccines or antimicrobials to combat newly emerging pathogens such as new influenza viruses or antibiotic-resistant bacteria provides significant challenges in the identification of innovative therapeutic approaches and targets for microbial infections. Such therapies, directed towards host-cell molecules, may represent alternative options where conventional approaches face difficulties. We will largely focus on those strategies that directly target the host inflammatory response, specifically those that result in the activation of the nuclear transcription factor (NF)-κB. NF-κB plays a central role in the cellular stress response and in inflammation by controlling the expression of a network of inducers and effectors that define responses to pathogens. Therefore, the modulation of NF-κB activation and its signaling pathway offer an exceptional therapeutical strategy that could benefit from targeting a single host regulatory pathway. The use of NF-κB inhibitors or enhancers will be possible only if modulation between the host's and pathogen's advantage can be reached. Since different pathogens have developed various mechanisms to alter the activation of NF-κB, the present review will mainly focus on the role of NF-κB in microbial infections, highlighting its importance as a therapeutic target and reviewing the current understanding of how NF-κB inhibition can be considered a potential paradigm for the development of novel antimicrobial therapies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
