Metabolic Analysis of Intracellular Pathogenic Bacteria Using NMR

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingBook chapterResearchpeer-review

Abstract

Pathogen proliferation and virulence depend on available nutrients, and these vary when the pathogen moves from outside of the host cell (extracellular) to the inside of the host cell (intracellular). Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is a versatile analytical method, which lends itself for metabolic studies. In this chapter, we describe how 1H NMR can be combined with a cellular infection model to study the metabolic crosstalk between a bacterial pathogen and its host both in the extracellular and intracellular compartments. Central carbon metabolism is highlighted by using glucose labeled with the stable isotope 13C.
