I teach community health nursing, and the students think that I am crazy. I am going to show them your picture. I hate to say this, but TB is my favorite disease.

I'm not an expert on M.tb, but what I do know about it suggests that your hunch about macrophages is quite likely to be correct! Anyone? Thanks very much for your comment.

The New Year seems to be a good occasion, and so does you latest posting on M. tuberculosis and its quirky and bothersome yen for being latent. As a consequence, members of this genus plus the rickettsiae that cause recrudescent typhus are the only bacteria I am aware of that may qualify as endosymbionts of vertebrates. It seems plausible that the latent forms reside intracellularly. In macrophages? Hi,
