Transcriptomic characterization of tuberculous sputum reveals a host Warburg effect and microbial cholesterol catabolism
2020-03-09
Abstract excerpt
The crucial transmission phase of tuberculosis (TB) relies on infectious sputum yet cannot easily be modeled. We applied one-step RNA-Sequencing to sputum from infectious TB patients to investigate the host and microbial environments underlying transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( Mtb ). In such TB sputa, compared to non-TB controls, transcriptional upregulation of inflammatory responses and a metabolic...
