A Role for the ATP7A Copper-transporting ATPase in Macrophage Bactericidal Activity
TL;DR: The data suggest that copper-transporting ATPases, CopA and ATP7A, in both bacteria and macrophage are unique determinants of bacteria survival and identify an unexpected role for copper at the host-pathogen interface.
