The antibiotic bedaquiline activates host macrophage innate immune resistance to bacterial infection
2019-09-06
Abstract excerpt
Antibiotics are widely used in the treatment of bacterial infections. Although known for their microbicidal activity, antibiotics may also interfere with the host’s immune system. Here we analyzed the effects of bedaquiline (BDQ), an inhibitor of the mycobacterial ATP synthase, on human macrophages. Genome-wide gene expression analysis revealed that BDQ reprogramed macrophages into potent bactericidal phagocytes....
