The Efficiency of the Translocation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis across a Bilayer of Epithelial and Endothelial Cells as a Model of the Alveolar Wall Is a Consequence of Transport within Mononuclear Phagocytes and Invasion of Alveolar Epithelial Cells

The mechanism(s) by which Mycobacterium tuberculosis crosses the alveolar wall to establish infection in the lung is not well known. In an attempt to better understand the mechanism of translocation and create a model to study the different stages of bacterial crossing through the alveolar wall, we...
