In vivo regulation of the monocyte phenotype by Mycobacterium marinum and the ESX-1 type VII secretion system by Kristina Munke, Line Wulff, Julia Lienard, Fredric Carlsson, William W. Agace

“…In a murine Mycobacterium marinum infection model we previously demonstrated that infiltrating monocytes and neutrophils represent the major bacteria-harbouring cell populations in infected tissue. In the current study we use this model, in combination with scRNA sequencing, to assess the impact of M. marinum infection on the transcriptional profile of infiltrating Ly6C⁺MHCII⁺ monocytes in vivo. …”
