Mycobacterium massiliense Induces Macrophage Extracellular Traps with Facilitating Bacterial Growth
18 May 2016
Abstract excerpt
Human neutrophils have been known to release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), antimicrobial DNA structures capable of capturing and killing microbes. Recently, a similar phenomenon has been reported in macrophages infected with various pathogens. However, a role for macrophages extracellular traps (METs) in host defense responses against Mycobacterium massiliense (M. mass) has yet to be described. In this...
