Host‐directed therapy to combat mycobacterial infections*

Abstract excerpt

Upon infection, mycobacteria, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), are recognized by host innate immune cells, triggering a series of intracellular processes that promote mycobacterial killing. Mycobacteria, however, have developed multiple counter-strategies to persist and survive inside host cells. By manipulating host effector mechanisms, including phagosome...
