Mycobacterium tuberculosis possesses agonists for several Toll-like receptors (TLRs), yet mice with single TLR deletions are resistant to acute tuberculosis. MyD88(-/-) mice were used to examine whether TLRs play any role in protection against aerogenic M. tuberculosis H37Rv infection. MyD88(-/-) mice failed to control mycobacterial replication and rapidly succumbed. Moreover, expressions of interleukin 12, tumor necrosis factor alpha, gamma interferon, and nitric oxide synthase 2 were markedly decreased in the knockout animals. These results argue that resistance to M. tuberculosis must depend on MyD88-dependent signals mediated by an as-yet-undetermined TLR or a combination of TLRs.
