A granuloma is the aggregation of immune cells that encapsulate the bacteria to keep them localized to prevent further infection and thus the bacteria become quiescent. However, if an individual becomes immunocompromised, they become more susceptible to M. tb, which may lead to bacterial reactivation...
The transcriptome analysis exhibited differential expression patterns in the two species in response to the infection. Moreover, this study first found that, compared to susceptible T. mucronatum, T. distichum can effectively perceive the invasion of P. maculans and make a valid response through ...
