Host- and age-dependent transcriptional changes in <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> cell envelope biosynthesis genes after exposure to human alveolar lining fluid

2021-09-08

Abstract excerpt

Tuberculosis (TB) infection, caused by the airborne pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( M . tb ), resulted in almost 1.4 million deaths in 2019 and the number of deaths is predicted to increase by 20% over the next 5 years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Upon reaching the alveolar space, M . tb comes in close contact with the lung mucosa before and after its encounter with host alveolar compartment cells. Our...
