ABSTRACT Mycobacterium kansasii is an environmental nontuberculous mycobacterium that causes opportunistic tuberculosis-like disease. It is one of the most closely related species to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. Using M. kansasii as a proxy for the M. kansasii-M. tuberculosis common ances...

It is one of the most closely related species to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex.

Expression of these genes resulted in the production of an adenosine-linked lipid species, known as 1-tuberculosinyladenosine (1-TbAd), but did not alter growth in vitro under standard conditions. Production of 1-TbAd enhanced growth of M. kansasii under acidic conditions through a bacterial cell-intrinsic mechanism independent of controlling pH in the bulk extracellular and intracellular spaces. Production of 1-TbAd led to greater burden of M. kansasii in the lungs of C57BL/6 mice during the first 24 h after infection, and ex vivo infections of alveolar macrophages recapitulated this phenotype within the same time frame.
