<i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> balances cytotoxicity and motility to counter phagocytosis by macrophages

2026-04-03

Abstract excerpt

During chronic lung infections, Pseudomonas aeruginosa diversifies under selection from antibiotics, metabolic constraints, and host defenses. Macrophages are key sentinels of the innate immune system and play a central role in clearing airway pathogens. Yet, how they process heterogeneous bacterial populations remains poorly understood. Here, we investigate how P. aeruginosa evades phagocytosis under conditions...
