Nitric oxide diffuses into the phagosome (Clancy et al. 1994). Although NO has been shown to be critical for control of Mtb infection in mice, its role in human infection is less clear. Instead, the generation of antimicrobial defence molecules including cathelicidin in a vitamin D-dependent pathway is much better established (Fabri et al. 2011, Martineau et al. 2011).
