Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances enhance Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity and impair host immune response
28 Sept 2022
Abstract excerpt
Per- and Poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are major persistent environmental contaminants. Epidemiological studies have linked PFAS exposures to altered immunity and increased occurrence of infections in children. However, the mechanisms leading to immune susceptibility to bacterial infections remains unclear. To elucidate the mechanism, transcriptional alteration in the Caenorhabditis elegans model caused by a...
