Journal ArticleDOI

The Mannose Receptor Mediates Uptake of Pathogenic and Nonpathogenic Mycobacteria and Bypasses Bactericidal Responses in Human Macrophages

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that MR-dependent phagocytosis is coupled neither to the activation of NADPH oxidase nor to the maturation of phagosomes until fusion with the Hck compartment and therefore constitutes a safe portal of entry for microorganisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phthiocerol dimycocerosates of M. tuberculosis participate in macrophage invasion by inducing changes in the organization of plasma membrane lipids.

TL;DR: DIM is proposed to control the invasion of macrophages by Mtb by targeting lipid organisation in the host membrane, thereby modifying its biophysical properties and contributing to the control of phagosomal pH driving bacilli in a protective niche.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolutionary history of tuberculosis shaped by conserved mutations in the PhoPR virulence regulator

TL;DR: It is shown by genetic transfer and virulence experiments that specific mutations in a virulence regulator contribute to lower fitness and virosity of M. bovis and related strains for the human host, likely obstructing the capacity of causing overt disease needed for efficient human-to-human transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI

The impact of the absence of glycopeptidolipids on the ultrastructure, cell surface and cell wall properties, and phagocytosis of Mycobacterium smegmatis.

TL;DR: Data showed that, in addition to being distinctive markers of numerous mycobacterial species, GPLs play a role in the bacterial phenotype, surface properties and cell wall permeability.
