Hypoxia Sensing and Persistence Genes Are Expressed during the Intragranulomatous Survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Abstract excerpt

Although it is accepted that the environment within the granuloma profoundly affects Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and infection outcome, our ability to understand Mtb gene expression in these niches has been limited. We determined intragranulomatous gene expression in human-like lung lesions derived from nonhuman primates with both active tuberculosis (ATB) and latent TB infection (LTBI). We employed a...
