Article Synopsis
  • Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) can lead to lasting damage in lung tissue, and mycobacterial vesicles (MVs) are being studied for their role in TB-related issues.
  • Research showed that stress from TB antibiotics increased MV formation, with vesicles being around 40 nm and containing various lipids and different protein profiles based on the type of antibiotic used.
  • While these MVs weren't toxic to human cells, they did provoke specific inflammatory responses, suggesting that they could be significant players in TB pathology.
