Macrophages inhibit Coxiella burnetii by the ACOD1‐itaconate pathway for containment of Q fever
Abstract 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 fe...
