The Cholinergic System Contributes to the Immunopathological Progression of Experimental Pulmonary Tuberculosis

The cholinergic system is present in both bacteria and mammals and regulates inflammation during bacterial respiratory infections through neuronal and non-neuronal production of acetylcholine (ACh) and its receptors. However, the presence of this system during the immunopathogenesis of pulmonary tub...
