Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium leprae, the etiologic agent of leprosy, is non-cultivable in vitro. Consequently, the assessment of antibiotic activity against M. leprae hinge mainly upon the time consuming mouse footpad system. As M. leprae develops resistance against most of the drugs, the evolution of new long acting antimycobacterial compounds stand in need for leprosy control. The rpoB of M. leprae is the target of...
