VapC12 ribonuclease toxin modulates host immune response during <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> infection
2023-08-25
Abstract excerpt
Mechanistic understanding of antibiotic persistence is a prerequisite in controlling the emergence of MDR cases in Tuberculosis (TB). We have reported that the cholesterol-induced activation of VapC12 ribonuclease is critical for disease persistence in TB. In this study, we observed that relative to the wild type, mice infected with Δ vapC12 induced a proinflammatory response, had a higher pathogen load, and resp...
