Bacteria

L. monocytogenes infection disrupts host energy metabolism by depleting energy stores (triglycerides and glycogen) and reducing metabolic pathway activity (beta-oxidation and glycolysis). The infection affects antioxidant defense by reducing uric acid levels and alters amino acid metabolism. These metabolic changes are accompanied by melanization, potentially linked to decreased tyrosine levels.
