Multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency kills Mycobacterium tuberculosis in vitro and during infection
The pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis depends on host fatty acids and cholesterol as carbon sources. Here, Beites et al. identify a protein complex that is essential for fatty acid and cholesterol utilization and thus for survival of M. tuberculosis during infection, supporting this pathway as a p...

| Sumario: | The pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis depends on host fatty acids and cholesterol as carbon sources. Here, Beites et al. identify a protein complex that is essential for fatty acid and cholesterol utilization and thus for survival of M. tuberculosis during infection, supporting this pathway as a potential target for tuberculosis drug development. |
