The inflammatory caspases—among them caspase-1, murine caspase-11, and human caspase-4 and-5 (homologs of murine caspase-11)—are central to depriving infectious agents of intracellular replication niches. Upon responding to a given stimulus, they become catalytically active and initiate a form of programmed inflammatory cell death termed pyroptosis. By examining their homology and adjacent chromosomal arrangement in humans and other mammals, it is apparent that the inflammatory caspases originate from a series of gene duplications and subsequent divergences.A balanced caspase-1 response is critical to defense against a variety of infectious agents, whereas its aberrant activation underlies a number of immune pathologies. Less is known about caspase-11,-4, and-5 in infection; however, we have shown that one physiological role of caspase-11 is to detect and help clear cytosol invasive infections, such as those caused by Burkholderia thailandensis [1]. More recent work has shown that caspase-11 mediates resistance to DSS-induced colitis [2] and clearance of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium-infected cells in
