Mycobacterium tuberculosis phagosome.
The arrest of Mycobacterium tuberculosis phagosome maturation in infected macrophages is a phenomenon of dual significance both for the pathogenesis of tuberculosis and as a model system to study interference of microbes with membrane trafficking and organelle biogenesis in host cells. Among other factors, compartment-specialized regulators of vesicular trafficking and other parts of membrane f...
متن کاملMycobacterium bovis Requires P27 (LprG) To Arrest Phagosome Maturation and Replicate within Bovine Macrophages
Mycobacterium bovis causes tuberculosis in a wide variety of mammals, with strong tropism for cattle and eventually humans. P27, also called LprG, is among the proteins involved in the mechanisms of the virulence and persistence of M. bovis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis Here, we describe a novel function of P27 in the interaction of M. bovis with its natural host cell, the bovine macrophage. W...
متن کاملCharacterization of the heat shock response in Mycobacterium bovis BCG.
We have for the first time characterized the heat shock response in mycobacteria both at the level of transcription, by RNA extraction, Northern (RNA) blotting, and hybridization with gene-specific probes for the Mycobacterium tuberculosis 65- and 71-kDa heat shock proteins (HSPs), and at the level of translation, by [35S]methionine labelling, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electroph...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of Mycobacterium bovis isolates from Ethiopian cattle
BACKGROUND Bovine Tuberculosis (BTB) is a widespread and endemic disease of cattle in Ethiopia. Information relating to genotypic characteristics of Mycobacterium bovis strains affecting the cattle population in Ethiopia is limited. We carried out molecular characterization of M. bovis strains isolated from BTB infected cattle using the spoligotyping technique. The relationship between distribu...
متن کاملMycobacterium bovis BCG: Characterization of the Experimental System
The macrophage migration inhibition test was applied to the study of delayed hypersensitivity in mice vaccinated intravenously with oil-treated cell walls of Mycobacterium bovis BCG. Migration inhibition of peritoneal exudate cells from sensitized mice was demonstrated directly upon incubation of the cells with purified protein derivative, but indicator cells such as normal peritoneal cells had...
