Borrelia burgdorferi hijacks cellular metabolism of immune cells: Consequences for host defense

Abstract excerpt

Changes in cellular metabolism have proven to be important factors in driving cell behavior. It has been shown that cellular metabolism of immune cells changes when exposed to or infected by several pathogens: while this is often an adaptation of the host cells to the infection, sometimes it represents a mechanism through which the pathogens evade immune activation.
