Comorbidities are an important factor in tuberculosis pathophysiology and treatment but are understudied in animal models. Schild et al. present a zebrafish model of Mycobacterium marinum infection and wound comorbidity that retains responsiveness to protective hypoxia-inducible factor-1α activation as an example of a host-directed therapy. This platform is a new paradigm for the zebrafish-M. marinum infection model and provides a blueprint to test therapeutic interventions on infection and comorbid pathologies.

合并症是结核病发病机制和治疗中的一个重要因素,但在动物模型中研究不足。Schild 等人提出了一种斑马鱼感染分枝杆菌和伤口合并症的模型,该模型保留了对保护性缺氧诱导因子-1α激活的反应性,可作为宿主导向治疗的一个例子。该平台是斑马鱼-分枝杆菌感染模型的一个新范例,为测试感染和合并病理的治疗干预措施提供了蓝图。评论见:https://doi.org/10.1111/febs.15433。
