Which of the following mechanisms do mycobacteria use to resist destruction inside phagocytes?
Which of the following mechanisms do mycobacteria use to resist destruction inside phagocytes?
- Resistance to the actions of complement proteins due to their cell walls
- Inhibition of fusion of phagosomes containing bacteria with lysosomes due to a lipid in their cell walls (correct)
- Production of a protein that enables it to escape from phagocytic vesicles
- Production of ROS and NO that are not susceptible to phagolysosomes
