Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common cause of pulmonary infection. As Gram-negative pathogen, it can initiate brisk and highly destructive inflammatory response; however, most hosts become tolerant to the bacterial burden, developing chronic Using murine model pneumonia, we demonstrate that this shift from inflammation disease tolerance promoted by ketogenesis. In response infection, ketone bodies are generated in liver circulate lungs where they impose selection for P. strains unable display...
Abstract Staphylococcus aureus is a pulmonary pathogen associated with substantial human morbidity and mortality. As vaccines targeting virulence determinants have failed to be protective in humans, other factors are likely involved pathogenesis. Here we analysed transcriptomic responses of clinical isolates S. from initial chronic infections. We observed upregulated collagenase proline transporter gene expression infection isolates. Metabolomics bronchiolar lavage fluid fibroblast...
