The mammalian-infective stages of these parasites colonize nutrient-rich, intracellular niches in a range of different host cells. These niches include specialized vacuoles (<i>Plasmodium</i> spp., <i>Toxoplasma gondii</i>), the mature lysosome of phagocytic cells (<i>Leishmania</i>), and the cytoplasm of nucleated host cells (<i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i>). Here, we review the different growth and metabolic strategies utilized by each of these protists to survive in these niches. Although all stages utilize sugars as preferred carbon sources, different species or developmental stages vary markedly in their dependence on aerobic fermentation versus respiratory metabolism and their co-utilization of other carbon sources. Stage-specific differences in glycolytic and mitochondrial respiratory capacity may be a hardwired feature of each stage and reflect the trade-off of achieving high growth rates at the expense of host range adaptability and establishing long-lived persistent infections.</p>","PeriodicalId":7946,"journal":{"name":"Annual review of microbiology","volume":" ","pages":"573-594"},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144939522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Purine synthesis is metabolically and energetically expensive; thus, under physiological conditions, intermediates of purine degradation are efficiently reused through salvage pathways.

The efficient elimination of excess purines in humans is critical because the primary waste product of purine metabolism, uric acid, is proinflammatory and has been linked to multiple health conditions. Recent studies suggest that gut bacteria influence the purine pool locally and systemically. Bacteria can break down uric acid and other purines aerobically and anaerobically and may regulate their homeostasis.

Analyses of mutants have revealed their important roles, including a surprising degree of peptide-microbe specificity at the effector level, in the host defense against gram-negative bacteria and fungi. Many new families of host defense peptides (HDPs) with unknown mechanisms of action are now being investigated. One prominent example is the Bomanins, which are peptides with an essential role in combatting infection by practically all gram-positive bacteria and fungi.
