Figure showing Mycobacterium fortuitum infection in an alveolus-on-a-chip (ALoC) without macrophages. Includes: (A) schematic of infection process; (B, C) fluorescent images and 3D reconstruction of infected ALoC with AT1 (magenta), AT2 (green), bacteria (white), and nuclei (blue); (D) Single z-slice of uninfected ALoC showing AT1, AT2, and mixed AT1/AT2 cells (asterisks), nuclei in blue. (E) Pie chart of cell-type proportions in uninfected ALoCs: AT1 (42%), AT2 (41%), AT1/AT2 (17%). (F) Single z-slice of infected ALoC showing AT1, AT2, and mixed AT1/AT2 cells (asterisks), nuclei in blue. (G) Pie chart of cell-type proportions in infected ALoCs: AT1 (44%), AT2 (34%), AT1/AT2 (22%). Scale bars: 30–50 µm.

Mycobacteria are difficult, slow organisms. They hide everywhere and don't grow easily in the lab.

They also mimic other diseases, so before you realise you're dealing with TB...

The video seems...simplistic.

(Fun fact: a mycobacterium is responsible for leprosy too)
