Latent <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> infection provides protection for the host by changing the activation state of the innate immune system

2019-02-27

Abstract excerpt

An efficacious vaccine against adult tuberculosis (TB) remains elusive. Progress is hampered by an incomplete understanding of the immune mechanisms that protect against infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of TB 1 . Over 90% of people who become infected with Mtb mount an immune response that contains the bacteria indefinitely, leading to a state known as “latent TB infection” (L...
