MetabolomicsMetabolomics reveals plasma profiles of Mycoplasma synovise infection with different virulence

Mycoplasma synovise (MS) is a prominent pathogen of poultry, causing considerable economic pressure to the poultry industry. Although we have a basic understanding of MS infection, the research on the pathogenicity and interactions between host and MS especially the metabolic bases of MS infectio...

MetabolomicsMetabolic profiling of Candida clinical isolates of different species and infection sources

Candida species are the most common cause of opportunistic fungal infections. Rapid identification and novel approaches for the characterization of these fungi are of great interest to improve the diagnosis and the knowledge about their pathogenic properties. This study aimed to characte...

MetabolomicsSalmonella Typhimurium reprograms macrophage metabolism via T3SS effector SopE2 to promote intracellular replication and virulence

Salmonella Typhimurium establishes systemic infection by replicating in host macrophages. Here we show that macrophages infected with S. Typhimurium exhibit upregulated glycolysis and decreased serine synthesis, leading to accumulation of glycolytic intermediates. The effects on...

MetabolomicsIdentification of BolA protein reveals a novel virulence factor in Klebsiella pneumoniae that contributes to liver abscess in mice

BolA has been characterized as an important transcriptional regulator, which is induced in the stationary phase of growth and is often associated with bacterial virulence. This study was initiated to elucidate the role of the BolA in the virulence of K. pneumoniae. Using a mous...

MetabolomicsL-serine enables reducing the virulence of Acinetobacter baumannii and modulating the SIRT1 pathway to eliminate the pathogen

The emergence of high-virulent Acinetobacter baumannii strains increases the mortality of patients and seriously affects their prognosis, which motivates us to explore novel ways to control such infections. In this study, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was adopted to explore the me...

MetabolomicsSalmonella Modulates Metabolism during Growth under Conditions that Induce Expression of Virulence Genes
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is a facultative pathogen that uses complex mechanisms to invade and proliferate within mammalian host cells. To investigate possible contributions of metabolic processes to virulence in S. Typhimurium grown under conditions known to induce ex...

MetabolomicsNMR-based metabolic profiling provides diagnostic and prognostic information in critically ill children with suspected infection

Sepsis, defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by infection is difficult to distinguish clinically from infection or post-operative inflammation. We hypothesized that in a heterogeneous group of critically ill children, there would be different metabolic profiles between post-operat...

MetabolomicsPeroxin Pex8 couples stress responses, antifungal tolerance and virulence regulation in Candida albicans

Candida albicans, a World Health Organization critical-priority fungal pathogen, represents the predominant cause of candidemia. Therapeutic failure is sometimes driven by antifungal tolerance, a phenotype distinct from resistance, whose underlying mechanisms remain incompletely defined....

MetabolomicsMycobacterium tuberculosis VadK required for regulation of the methylcitrate cycle and virulence

The evolution of new enzymatic functions is constrained and guided by the architecture of an organism’s metabolic and regulatory networks and environmental constraints. Here, we identify a kinase that has evolved from pyruvate phosphate dikinase. Through biochemical and systems-lev...

MetabolomicsF1Fo-ATP synthase subunit determines lethal pathogenic fungi infection
Fungal infections, especially candidiasis and aspergillosis, claim an unacceptably high fatality rate. The energy ATP that is necessary for fungal cell growth and function is synthesized mainly through oxidative phosphorylation, with the key enzyme being F1Fo-ATP synthase. But it remains unknown how...
