Contribution of glucose to increased respiratory bacterial burden in hyperglycaemia
2017-01-01
Abstract excerpt
It has recently been proposed that uncontrolled hyperglycaemia in people with diabetes increases lung glucose, so providing a richer growth medium facilitating bacterial infection. Where diabetes is controlled, there is a reduced associated risk of bacterial infection. The aim of this thesis was to determine the effect of glucose on bacterial growth in vivo and directly link bacterial glucose metabolism with incre...
