Impact of the elderly lung mucosa on Mycobacterium tuberculosis transcriptional adaptation during infection of alveolar epithelial cells

Microbiology Spectrum
Tuberculosis is one of the leading causes of death due to a single infectious agent. Upon infection, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) is deposited in the alveoli and encounters the lung mucosa or alveolar lining fluid (ALF).

Exploring NAD(+) metabolism in host-pathogen interactions

, 2016
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) is a vital molecule found in all living cells. NAD(+) intracellular levels are dictated by its synthesis, using the de novo and/or salvage pathway, and through its catabolic use as co-enzyme or co-substrate. The
