Comparative Transcriptomic Analysis of Human Macrophages During Mycobacterium avium Versus Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Human macrophage transcriptomic responses to Mycobacterium avium (Mav), a major cause of nontuberculous lung disease, were compared to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Both infections activated overlapping immune pathways, including cytokine signaling and GPCRs involved in lipid metabolism, while phospholipases were more strongly regulated by Mav and ...
