Autophagy protects against high-dose <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> infection
2022-11-04
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Host autophagy had been associated with the control of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection due to its ability to sequesters microorganisms through a process termed “xenophagy” 1–4 . Xenophagy purportedly limits Mtb replication within infected macrophages 1–4 . However, studies in mice using a standard low-dose infection model demonstrated that xenophagy in infected phagocytes is not req...
