Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) uses alveolar macrophages as primary host cells during infection. In response to an infection, macrophages switch from pyruvate oxidation to reduction of pyruvate into lactate. Lactate might present an additional carbon substrate for Mtb. Here, we demonstrate that Mt...
