Cytosolic dsDNA sensing, mediated by the cyclic‐GMP‐AMP (cGAMP) synthase (cGAS)‐stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway, has recently been considered an essential component for linking dsDNA (originating from DNA viruses, reverse‐transcription of RNA viruses, bacteria, parasites, mitochondria, and extracellular vesicles) detection to the initiation of the host's innate immune defence response.[12] Increasing research has shown that the cGAS‐STING pathway is critical for inducing a type I IFN response upon infection by a variety of intracellular bacterial pathogens. Here, CGAS is linked to infection.
