Host-secreted lactate during respiratory viral infection diminishes macrophage antibacterial activity through metabolic reprogramming
2026-07-16
Abstract excerpt
In polymicrobial infections, how the host recognizes and responds to pathogens influences which species will persist to cause chronic infections. The human respiratory tract is a common anatomical site for viral-bacterial co-infections, where primary viral infections predispose to secondary bacterial infections, leading to increased morbidity and mortality. Additionally, co-infections are disproportionately preval...
