Mycobacterial load and direct contact primes spacious to compact phagosome switching for egress

Aher Jayesh Bhausaheb, Aniruddha Nagarajan, Jahnavi Bommidi, Debraj Koiri, Jafarulla Shaikh, Sandeep Choubey, Varadharajan Sundaramurthy, Mohammed Saleem

This study shows that mycobacterial load and direct contact determine phagosome fate by altering membrane mechanics, leading to spacious or compact phagosomal states that influence bacterial egress.
