Interleukin-12 and interleukin-27 regulate macrophage control of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is an intracellular pathogen that persists within macrophages and remains a considerable global threat to human health. The purpose of this study was to investigate how interleukin (IL)-12 and IL-27 regulate human macrophage interactions with M. tuberculosis. Quantitative measurement of transcripts showed that IL-12 or M. tuberculosis induced IL-27 gene expression in ...
متن کاملGenotyping ofMycobacterium tuberculosis in China and Missing Links in the Chain of Ongoing Transmission of Tuberculosis
Worldwide, the epidemiology of tuberculosis varies widely from an uncommon disease refueled by immigration to highly endemic, with ongoing transmission as the driving force. Countries with the highest incidence rates are found in subSaharan Africa, whereas the highest absolute numbers of cases are recorded in India and China. The latter countries experience intermediate incidence rates, but hav...

متن کاملMacrophage Apoptosis in Tuberculosis
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is an intracellular pathogen that infects alveolar macrophages following aerosol transmission. Lung macrophages provide a critical intracellular niche that is required for Mtb to establish infection in the human host. This parasitic relationship is made possible by the capacity of Mtb to block phagosome maturation following entry into the host macrophage, creati...
متن کاملOriginal Contribution Contribution of Seasonality in Transmission ofMycobacterium tuberculosis to Seasonality in Tuberculosis Disease: A Simulation Study
A seasonal rise in tuberculosis (TB) notifications has been confirmed in several studies. Here, we examined one hypothesis for its cause: increased transmission of TB during wintertime due to crowding. Seasonality analysis was performed on actual and simulated notifications of clustered TB cases, which are considered to be representative of recent transmission, diagnosed from 1993 to 2004 in th...
