Macrophages inhibit <i>Coxiella burnetii</i> by the ACOD1-itaconate pathway for containment of Q fever

2022-05-11

Abstract excerpt

Infection with the intracellular bacterium Coxiella (C.) burnetii can cause chronic Q fever with severe complications and limited treatment options. Here, we identify the enzyme cis- aconitate decarboxylase 1 (ACOD1 or IRG1) and its product itaconate as protective host immune pathway in Q fever. Infection of mice with C. burnetii induced expression of several anti-microbial candidate genes, including Acod1 . In...
