Preferential catabolism of L- vs D-serine by <i>Proteus mirabilis</i> contributes to pathogenesis and catheter-associated urinary tract infection
2022-06-03
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Proteus mirabilis is a common cause of urinary tract infection, especially in catheterized individuals. Amino acids are the predominant nutrient for bacteria during growth in urine, and our prior studies identified several amino acid import and catabolism genes as fitness factors for P. mirabilis catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI), particularly D- and L-serine. In this study, we...
