Macrophage-Produced Peroxynitrite Induces Antibiotic Tolerance and Supersedes Intrinsic Mechanisms of Persister Formation
13 Jun 2021
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus is a leading human pathogen that frequently causes chronic and relapsing infections. Antibiotic-tolerant persister cells contribute to frequent antibiotic failure in patients. Macrophages represent an important niche during S. aureus bacteremia, and recent work has identified a role for oxidative burst in the formation of antibiotic-tolerant S. aureus. We find that host-derived...
