Choline metabolism modulates cyclic-di-GMP signaling and virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a macrophage infection model
Abstract Background Bacterial pathogens frequently encounter host-derived metabolites during their colonization and invasion processes, which can serve as nutrients, antimicrobial agents, or signaling molecules for the pathogens. The essential nutrient choline (Cho) is widely known to be utilized by...
