Our latest work is out in @natcomms.nature.com! Clinical adaptation of #PseudomonasAeruginosa can drive pyruvate secretion, where it scavenges ROS, dampens immune activation and promotes persistence, highlighting bacterial metabolism as an active player in infection🦠 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Immune protection and persistence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections by pyruvate cross-feeding - Nature Communications
The study shows that metabolic mutations in Pseudomonas aeruginosa lead to pyruvate secretion, which reduces oxidative stress, dampens immune responses, promoting bacterial survival and persistence in...
