This study exposes M.tb strains to human alveolar lining fluid and finds strain-specific and time-dependent gene expression changes, particularly in lipid metabolism and cholesterol degradation.

This study shows that Mycobacterium tuberculosis alters its cell envelope gene expression in response to human alveolar lining fluid, with differences observed between young and elderly donors.

This study identifies neutrophils in elderly lungs as contributors to a dysregulated environment, providing a proteomic baseline for future research on respiratory infection susceptibility.
