Abstract
In a recent study published in Nature, Lesbats et al.1 show that phagocytosed bacteria can be recycled by macrophages to serve as an alternative nutrient source. Bacterial cAMP was identified as a signal for macrophages to differentiate between dead and live bacteria and to adjust the inflammatory response accordingly.
