TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: Survival mechanisms of pathogenic Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv

Mycobacterium tuberculosisH37Rv is a highly successful pathogen and its success fully relies on its ability to utilize macrophages for its replication and, more importantly, the macrophage should remain viable to host the Mycobacterium. | REVIEW ARTICLE Survival mechanisms of pathogenic Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv Laxman S.

Despite the fact that these phagocytes are usually very effective in internalizing and clearing most of the bacteria M. tuberculosis H37Rv has evolved a number of very effective survival strategies including a the inhibition of phagosome-lysosome fusion b the inhibition of phagosome acidification c the recruitment and retention of tryptophanaspartate containing coat protein on phagosomes to prevent their delivery to lysosomes and d the expression of members of the host-induced repetitive glycine-rich protein family of proteins. However the mechanisms by which M. tuberculosis H37Rv enters the host cell circumvents host defenses and spreads to neighboring cell are not completely understood. Therefore a better understanding of host-pathogen interaction is essential if the global tuberculosis pandemic is ever to be controlled. This review addresses some of the pathogenic strategies of the M. tuberculosis H37Rv that aids in its survival and pathogenicity. Introduction Five decades of tuberculosis TB control programs using potentially efficacious drugs have failed to reduce prevalence of infection by the causative organism Mycobacterium tuberculosis in most parts of the world 1
