Pseudomonas Persists by Feeding off Itaconate.
2020
Itaconate is an immunometabolite with anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. Riquelme et al. (2020) demonstrate that pathogenic Pseudomonas aeruginosa drives itaconate production by macrophages, which it then uses as a carbon source for biofilm formation, allowing it to persist during infection and suppress inflammation.
