Mycobacterium tuberculosis Dissemination Plays a Critical Role in Pathogenesis
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020 Mycobacterium tuberculosis is primarily a respiratory pathogen. However, 15% of infections worldwide occur at extrapulmonary sites causing additional complications for diagnosis and treatment of the disease. In addition, dissemination of M.

Immune Response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis: A Narrative Review
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2019 The encounter between Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and the host leads to a complex and multifaceted immune response possibly resulting in latent infection, tubercular disease or to the complete clearance of the pathogen.
