The fate of phagosomes is usually directed by factors in the host phagocyte and involves flooding itself with superoxide, nitric oxide, and protons. Acidification is the prerequisite for later fusion with a lysosome. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) releases substances that inhibit all of these processes, effectively arresting the phagosome in the present state and creating a protected niche for Mtb multiplication (Russell 2011, Stutz et al. 2018).
