infection is an important cause of public health diseases, and no effective vaccine is currently available. Owing to its unique intracellular lifestyle, requires a variety of nutrients and substrates from host cells, particularly sphingomyelin, cholesterol, iron, amino acids, and the mannose-6-phosp...
