Inhibition of tRNA Synthetases Induces Persistence in <i>Chlamydia</i>
2019-09-05
Abstract excerpt
Chlamydia trachomatis is the leading cause of bacterial sexually transmitted infections, and C. pneumoniae causes community-acquired respiratory infections. In vivo , the host immune system will release interferon-gamma (IFNγ) to combat infection. IFNγ activates human cells to produce the tryptophan (trp) catabolizing enzyme, IDO. Consequently, there is a reduction in cytosolic trp in IFNγ-activated host cells....
