  • Title: Campylobacter jejuni host tissue tropism: a consequence of its low-carb lifestyle?
    Author: Thompson SA, Gaynor EC.
    Journal: Cell Host Microbe; 2008 Nov 13; 4(5):409-10. PubMed ID: 18996338.
    Abstract:
    Mechanisms underlying virulence properties of Campylobacter jejuni have historically been difficult to identify. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Hofreuter et al. (2008) show that C. jejuni's ability to metabolize glutamine, glutathione, and asparagine affects its ability to colonize specific host tissues. These findings reflect the emerging theme of bacterial physiology directly impacting pathogenesis.
