This study shows that host membrane microdomains are essential for Mycobacterium marinum to cause membrane damage, escape into the cytosol, and infect cells.

The paper characterizes the proteomic composition of Mycobacterium marinum-containing vacuoles in Dictyostelium discoideum at different infection stages and compares them to other mycobacterial compartments.

This study uses time-resolved RNA-seq to analyze D. discoideum gene expression during M. marinum infection, identifying key pathways involved in host response to damage, stress, and metabolic adaptation.
