Researchers discover how a respiratory bacterium obtains essential lipids from the human body and targets fat-rich tissues
19 01 2026
A multidisciplinary team co-led by the UAB has uncovered a key mechanism that allows the human bacterium Mycoplasma pneumoniae—responsible for atypical pneumonia and other respiratory infections—to obtain cholesterol and other essential lipids directly from the human body through the P116 protein. The discovery, published in Nature Communications, opens the door to using a modified version of this microorganism as a biotechnological platform to study and treat liver and atherosclerotic diseases.
