Viruses and intracellular bacterial pathogens (IBPs) have in common the need of suitable
host cells for efficient replication and proliferation during infection. In human infections, the …

Viral replication is a process that involves an extremely high turnover of cellular molecules.
Since viruses depend on the host cell to obtain the macromolecules needed for their proper …

Over the last decade, there has been significant advances in the understanding of the cross-
talk between metabolism and immune responses. It is now evident that immune cell effector …

Host cells possess the metabolic assets required for viral infection. Recent studies indicate
that control of the host's metabolic resources is a core host–pathogen interaction. Viruses …

To reproduce, prokaryotic viruses must hijack the cellular machinery of their hosts and
redirect it toward the production of viral particles. While takeover of the host replication and …

The interaction of bacterial pathogens with mammalian hosts leads to a variety of
physiological responses of the interacting partners aimed at an adaptation to the new …

To ensure optimal environments for their replication and spread, viruses have evolved to
alter many host cell pathways. In the last decade, metabolomic studies have shown that …

When viruses infect cells, they almost invariably cause metabolic changes in the infected
cell as well as in several host cell types that react to the infection. Such metabolic changes …

Infectious diseases caused by pathogens including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites
are ranked as the second leading cause of death worldwide by the World Health …

Viruses manipulate cell biology to utilize monocytes/macrophages as vessels for
dissemination, long-term persistence within tissues and virus replication. Viruses enter cells …
