Transcriptional adaptation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis within macrophages: insights into the phagosomal environment. J Exp Med 198 (2003) 693-704. To obtain information on the stresses bacteria undergo while in the macrophage, the transcriptional responses of M. tuberculosis in macrophages from wild type and nitric oxide-deficient mice before and after immunologic activation were collected. Results show the Mycobacterial phagosomal environment to be nitrosative, oxidative, hypoxic, carbohydrate-poor and able to disturb the cell envelope.

In a screen for transposon mutants unable to grow in primary macrophages, researchers identified putative pathways required for M. tuberculosis intracellular survival which are encoded by physically unlinked genes. Most strikingly, it was found that genes essential for intra-macrophage survival are constitutively expressed.

Researchers used a high-throughput microarray detection method to screen hundreds of unique, genotypically defined, transposon mutants for in vivo survival in macrophages.
