Preexisting Heterogeneity of Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase Expression Drives Differential Growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Macrophages

John McKinney, Chiara Toniolo, Ophélie Rutschmann

Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection is initiated by the inhalation and implantation of bacteria in the lung alveoli, where they are phagocytosed by macrophages. Even a single bacterium may be sufficient to initiate infection. Thereafter, the clinical outc ...

Fluorescent D-Amino Acids for Super-resolution Microscopy of the Bacterial Cell Wall

Mischa André Meyer, Faustine Ambroisine Charline Ryckebusch, Suliana Manley, Luc Reymond, Chen Zhang, Juliette Griffie, Willi Leopold Stepp, Ophélie Rutschmann, Jiangtao Qiao

Fluorescent D-amino acids (FDAAs) have previ-ously been developed to enable in situ highlighting of locations of bacterial cell wall growth. Most bacterial cells lie at the edge of the diffraction limit of visible light; thus, resolving the precise details ...

Do chance encounters between heterogeneous cells shape the outcome of tuberculosis infections?

John McKinney, Chiara Toniolo, Ophélie Rutschmann

The sum of all of the interactions between single bacteria and host cells determines if an infection is cleared, controlled, or progresses at the whole host-organism level. These individual interactions have independent trajectories defined by diverse and ...

Single-cell analysis of the interactions between Mycobacterium tuberculosis and macrophages

Ophélie Rutschmann

Mycobacterium Tuberculosis is a highly effective pathogen infecting nearly a third of the world's population. An M. tuberculosis infection starts when droplets containing bacteria enter an individual's lungs. The first host cells to contact the bacteria ar ...
