S-Palmitoylation is a reversible post-translational modification involving saturated fatty acid palmitate-to-cysteine linkage in the protein, which guides many aspects of macrophage physiology in health and disease. However, the precise role and underlying mechanisms of palmitoylation in infection of macrophages remain elusive. Here, we found that infection induced the expression of zinc-finger DHHC domain-type palmitoyl-transferases (ZDHHCs), particularly ZDHHC2, in mouse macrophages.

Heterogeneity during (Mtb) infection greatly impacts disease outcome and complicates treatment. This heterogeneity encompasses many facets, spanning local differences in the host immune response to Mtb and the environment experienced by the bacterium, to nonuniformity in Mtb replication state. All of these facets are interlinked and each can affect Mtb susceptibility to antibiotic treatment.

We report an extremely rare presentation of a tuberculous adrenal abscess discovered accidently during a chest CT scan. This case involves a 21-year-old male patient with pleurisy and a left adrenal abscess simultaneously of tuberculous origin, without clinical or biological signs of adrenal insufficiency. The condition showed complete regression of the abscess after medical treatment.

Tuberculosis (TB), white plague, many other definitions is an ancient deadly infection that humans dealt with after creation. The first hypothesis refers to 150 million years ago about the appearance of TB in the Jurassic era before human creation, but documents show 9000 years ago for first appearance in human society. In 1882, Robert Koch was able to identify and describe the best possible agent of TB.
