Fatty acid metabolism in neutrophils promotes lung damage and bacterial replication during tuberculosis
2023-10-29
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection triggers a significant influx of neutrophils to the lungs, which is linked to tuberculosis (TB) severity. The mechanism by which Mtb infection induces neutrophillic inflammation remains unclear. Using a clinically relevant and hypervirulent Mtb strain from the W-Beijing family, HN878, we found that genes related to both glycolysis and fatty acid metabol...
