We have reported that TLR11 contributes to the murine response to flagellin and resistance to infection with Salmonella spp., including those responsible for typhoid fever in humans (Mathur et al., 2012). Here, we respond to the Correspondence in this issue of Cell by Song et al. (2016), which claims that mice lacking TLR11 are not more susceptible to infection with Salmonella species and that TLR11 does not recognize Salmonella flagellin.
