KefB inhibits phagosomal acidification but its role is unrelated to M. tuberculosis survival in host.

Scientific reports - 18 Dec 2013

Khare Garima, Reddy P Vineel, Sidhwani Pragya, Tyagi Anil K

Abstract excerpt

kefB is annotated as a potassium/proton antiporter in M. tuberculosis. There have been divergent reports on the involvement of KefB in phagosomal maturation in M. bovis BCG and no investigation has been carried out on its role in M. tuberculosis, the pathogenic species responsible for causing tuberculosis. This study was taken up to ascertain the involvement of KefB in the growth of M. tuberculosis and its role...
