Correction: Inactivation of branched-chain amino acid uptake halts Staphylococcus aureus growth and induces bacterial quiescence within macrophages

Key Points

• To examine the effect of branched-chain amino acid uptake on the growth and quiescence of Staphylococcus aureus within macrophages.
• Inhibition of branched-chain amino acid transport
• Observation of bacterial growth in macrophages
• Analysis of bacterial behavior and survival
• Inactivation of amino acid uptake stops Staphylococcus aureus growth
• Bacteria enter a quiescent state within macrophages
• Findings support new approaches to target bacterial infections
