Metabolites from plasma-like medium fuel nitrogen metabolism and influence proliferation in Leptospira interrogans

Matthew H. Ward, Nathan Scherer, Leah P. Shriver, Gary J. Patti

This study identifies glutamine as a key nitrogen source for Leptospira interrogans under physiological conditions and shows that targeting glutamine metabolism could inhibit bacterial proliferation and infection.
