TB Pathogenesis
What is it?
• One of the oldest recorded human afflictions
• Bone TB from individuals who died 4,000 years
ago
• Assyrian clay tablets record hemoptysis 7th
century BC
• Hippocrates describes symptoms of consumption
from the 5th century BC

TB Pathogenesis
What is it?
• Until mid-1800s, many believed
TB was hereditary or a working
man’s disease
• 1865 Jean Antoine-Villemin
proved TB was contagious
• 1882 Robert Koch discovered
M. tuberculosis, the bacterium
that causes TB

Mycobacterium tuberculosis
What is it?
• Caused by the Mycobacterium M. tuberculosis
• Small, aerobic, non-motile bacillus
• High lipid content- lipid bilayer
• Does not stain well
• Can live in a dry environment for weeks
• Can withstand some disinfectants
• Divides at the slow rate of 16-20 hours.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis
What is it?
• Can be identified under a regular light
microscope.
• Most mycobacterium retain stains
even after washes and therefore are
called “acid-fast” bacilli or AFB
• Common staining techniques are:
• Ziehl-Neelsen stain-bright red
• Auramine-rhodamine stain- fluorescence
microscopy

Mycobacterium tuberculosis
What it does
• TB is spread person to person
through the air via droplet nuclei
• M. tuberculosis may be expelled
when an infectious person:
• Coughs
• Sneezes
• Speaks
• Sings
• Transmission occurs when another
person inhales droplet nuclei

TB Pathogenesis
What it does
Droplet nuclei containing tubercle bacilli are
inhaled, enter the lungs, and travel to the small
alveoli

TB Pathogenesis
What it does

bronchiole
blood vessel
tubercle bacilli
alveoli
Tubercle bacilli multiply in alveoli, where
infection begins
CDC.gov-Transmission and Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis

TB Pathogenesis
What it does
immune cells
form a barrier
• Within 2 to 8 weeks, MTB can be phagocytosed by alveolar
immune cells
• The phagocytosed immune cells transport the MTB to local
lymph nodes for T cells priming and cloning
• The immune cells form a barrier shell that keeps the bacilli
contained and under control (LTBI)
CDC.gov-Transmission and Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis

Who Does the Heavy Lifting?
What cells phagocytose the MTB bacilli once
they reach the alveoli?
1. CD4 T cells
2. B cells
3. Macrophages
4. Defensin cells
5. NK cells
©2013 MFMER | slide-14
Events following entry of bacilli
TB Pathogenesis
Stage1:
• Phagocytosis of MTB by Alveolar
macrophage
• Destruction of MTB, but some
evade destruction & continue to
multiply and then infect bystander
macrophages

Events following entry of bacilli
TB Pathogenesis
Stage 2:
• Influx of Polymononuclear cells (PMN) and
Monocytes-differentiate into Macrophage
• In some cases, it fails to eliminate the bacilli
completely
• Logarithmic growth of bacilli-little tissue
destruction
The PMNs come marching in
©2013 MFMER | slide-16
Events following entry of bacilli
TB Pathogenesis
Stage 3:
• Antigen specific T-cells are recruited to the site
and activate monocytoid cells and differentiate
into two types of Giant cells
• Epithiliod
• Langhan
• Infection is walled off from rest of the body
which prevents dissemination of bacilli.

Events following entry of bacilli
TB Pathogenesis
Stage 4:
• Stage of Latency (Granuloma) disrupts under conditions
of failing immune surveillance & leads to endogenous
reactivation of dormant bacilli
• Characterised by caseation necrosis

The Great Tuberculosis Paradox
• Up to 50% of people with close and repeated
contact with confirmed index cases, even in
high burden areas, have no immunodiagnostic
evidence of Tb disease.
• Sterilizing innate immunity
• Likely related to host factors

The Great Tuberculosis Paradox
©2013 MFMER | slide-20
What factor does NOT impact the
likelihood of M. tuberculosis
transmission?
1. Intensity of exposure
2. Exposure duration
3. The gender of the infected individual
4. Recipient host factors
5. M. tuberculosis strain virulence

TB Immunopathogenesis
• Immune system vs. MTB
•
•
•
•
Local inflammation
Activation of a/b T cells
Enhanced cytokine response
A lot of IFN-g released
• MTB immune evasion techniques
• Suppressive cytokines (TGFb)
• Effector molecules
• Treg cells

TB Immunopathogenesis
The Achilles heel
• Increased susceptibility to TB with:
•
•
•
•
Suppressed CD4 or CD8 T cell levels- HIV
TNFa blockage
Hereditary IFN-g
IL-2 receptor abnormalities or inhibition
• Insight into immune requirements for
protection against MTB
©2013 MFMER | slide-23
Innate Immunity to M. tuberculosis
Toll-like receptor
Activate NK, T cells,
macrophages
NF-kB and cytokines
Vit D Receptor
Phagocytic killing of pathogens
Resp 2010.15:433
©2013 MFMER | slide-24
Innate Immunity to M. tuberculosis
• Promote bacterial killing with phagosomal
maturation, producing reactive nitrogen and
oxygen intermediates
• Several pathways and cell types mediate an
innate immune response to MTB
• Therefore, many individuals may fail to have an
immunodiagnostic evidence of MTB infection
despite prolonged or high-risk exposure
©2013 MFMER | slide-25
Adaptive Immunity to M. tuberculosis
• Mycobacterial infected macrophages and dendritic cells
present antigens to T cells and B cells.
• Macrophage apoptosis releases apoptotic vesicles with
MTB to uninfected DC for even greater antigen
presentation.

Adaptive Immunity to M. tuberculosis
• B cells were not thought to have a significant
role in protecting against MTB
• Recent work showed that B cells were needed
in MTB infected mice by acting as an
intermediary for cellular immunity and the
complement pathway.
Eur J. Immunolo 2009;39:676
©2013 MFMER | slide-29
Adaptive Immunity to M. tuberculosis
• Memory T cells are created specific to MTB
antigens.
• Memory T cells are active and proliferate with
recall responses
• Specific, practical, clinical biomarkers of
protective immunity has not been established

Immunomodulation for Cure of TB
• Improve sterilizing immunity
• Decrease collateral damage of the immune
system
• 95% of bacterial sterilization occurs in 2 weeks,
but 6 months of therapy is needed.
• Is immune modulation needed to stop a
destructive immune pattern to a protective one?
©2013 MFMER | slide-33
Immunomodulation for Cure of TB
• Drive a Th1 response, turn off T reg
• IL2, INFg, steroids, thalidomide, TNFa antagonist-failed!
• IVIG dramatically improves mycobacterial sterilization in
a mouse model
• Many other agents in different stages of discovery and
clinical trials
