Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex are among the most successful pathogens. Their success resides in the ability to interfere with intracellular traffic avoiding natural pathways of the phagosome maturation. Recently, mycobacteria escape from the phagosome to the cytosol was investigated as an alternative survival strategy. In this context we decided to determine the exact intracellular location of Mycobacterium bovis in different host macrophages and characterize the pathogen intracellular niche for survival. The main goal here was to characterize live vs dead M. bovis spp phagosome in different host macrophages. Macrophages infection, fluorescence and EM procedures were carried out as described previously.
