We studied the involvement of reactive oxygen intermediates and reactive nitrogen intermediates in the bacteriostasis of two Mycobacterium avium strains differing in virulence by resident peritoneal macrophages. We found that both the highly virulent strain (25291) and the low-virulence strain (1983) of M. avium induced superoxide production but inhibited nitrite production in vitro. This inhibition was due to the production of superoxide, a nitric oxide scavenger. The stimulation of superoxide production was two- to fivefold higher in strain 1983-infected than in strain 25291-infected resident peritoneal macrophages and was independent of contaminating T cells or NK cells. Superoxide secretion was dependent on the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) produced endogenously by the macrophages. This was also true when macrophages were isolated from infected mice. Addition of TNF to the infected resident peritoneal macrophages caused only a slight, albeit significant, increase in superoxide production by strain 25291-infected macrophages. Incubation of resident peritoneal macrophages with different scavengers of reactive oxygen intermediates showed that strain 1983 was susceptible to hydrogen peroxide produced by resident peritoneal macrophages. Strain 25291 was shown to decrease superoxide secretion inside heavily infected bone marrow-derived macrophages. This strain was also shown to be a better trigger for production of reactive oxygen intermediates than strain 1983. In summary, strain 1983 induced high levels of TNF synthesis that acted in an autocrine fashion to stimulate production of reactive oxygen intermediates by macrophages leading to growth restriction mediated by hydrogen peroxide. The highly virulent strain 25291 induced low levels of TNF synthesis, and therefore little reactive oxygen intermediate production, and could also inhibit superoxide production by the infected macrophages.
