Abstract

Alveolar macrophages reside in the airway lumen, where they are thought to remain. However, in this issue of Cell Host & Microbe,Cohen et al. (2018) show that Mycobacterium tuberculosis may induce their translocation into the lung interstitium, potentially acting as a Trojan horse for bacillary dissemination to other phagocytes.
