<i>Chlamydia</i> iron starvation links nutritional immunity to pathogen recognition

2025-08-08

Abstract excerpt

Nutritional immunity is an antimicrobial strategy that evolved to starve pathogens of essential nutrients, with death as the desired outcome. Here, we report that transient iron starvation of the obligate intracellular pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis , growing in endocervical epithelial cells, enhances pathogen recognition by the host cell through the dysregulation of a peptidoglycan (PG) remodeling enzyme, result...
