Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Persistence in a Cell Model Mimicking Alveolar Macrophages
26 Apr 2019
Abstract excerpt
Nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) respiratory infections have been gradually increasing. Here, THP-1 cells were used as a model to evaluate intracellular persistence of three NTM species (reference and clinical strains) in human alveolar macrophages. The contribution of phagosome acidification, nitric oxide (NO) production and cell dead on NTM intracellular fate was assessed. In addition, strains were...
