Lymph nodes are sites of prolonged bacterial persistence during Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in macaques
In Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected macaques, lymph nodes are the second most commonly infected anatomic sites after the lungs. This image shows the architecture and organization of a thoracic lymph node before M. tuberculosis infection. Once infected, granulomas form and disrupt the lymph node structure and this is associated with higher bacterial burden. Flynn et al.
