Aggregation state of Mycobacterium tuberculosis impacts host immunity and augments pulmonary disease pathology
Kolloli et al. examine whether aggregation contributes to enhanced pathogenicity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a rabbit model of pulmonary infection. They demonstrate that aggregation increases the ability of M. tuberculosis to grow robustly and promote inflammation and host cell death in the rab...
