Impaired fatty acid import or catabolism in macrophages restricts intracellular growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection of macrophages reprograms cellular metabolism to promote lipid retention. While it is clearly known that intracellular Mtb utilize host-derived lipids to maintain infection, the role of macrophage lipid processing on the bacteria’s ability to access the int...
