“…Normally distributed continuous data (mean ± standard deviation) were analyzed using t-test or F-test (SPSS 25.0, P<0.05 deemed statistically significant). Results. (1) 100% of Bdq-treated macrophages (all doses applied over 4–48 h) survived with 0% inhibition of proliferation observed. (2) Intracellular CFUs of Bdq-treated MDR-MTBs-infected macrophages decreased over 4–48 h of treatment, were lower than preadministration and control CFUs, decreased with increasing Bdq dose, and resembled H37Rv-infected group CFUs (48 h). (3) For MDR-MTBs-infected macrophages (various Bdq doses), IL-12/23 p40 levels resembled preadministration group levels and exceeded controls (4 h); TNF-α levels exceeded preadministration group levels (24 h/48 h) and controls (24 h); IL-12/23 p40 and TNF-α levels resembled H37Rv-infected group levels (4 h/8 h/24 h/48 h); IL-6 levels exceeded preadministration and H37Rv-infected group levels (24 h/48 h) and controls (24 h); IL-10 levels resembled preadministration and H37Rv-infected group levels (4 h/8 h/24 h/48 h) and were lower than controls (24 h/48 h); IL-12/23 p40 and IL-10 levels remained unchanged as intracellular CFUs changed, with IL-12/23 p40 levels exceeding controls (4 h) and IL-10 levels remaining lower than controls (24 h/48 h); TNF-α and IL-6 levels increased as intracellular CFUs decreased (24 h/48 h) and exceed controls (24 h). …”
