Mycobacterium tuberculosis infected Mouse lungs

Caption

A computed tomography (CT) scan of mouse lungs infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Red inclusions indicate the location of granulomas within the infected tissue. These sites were further investigated to identify the intracellular distribution of the anti-tuberculosis (TB) drug Bedaquiline (BDQ) and its localisation in specific immune cells.
