Qualitative and quantitative proteomic analysis of Vitamin C induced changes in Mycobacterium smegmatis

Abstract excerpt

Vitamin C is a critical dietary nutrient in human which has a wide range of regulatory effects on gene expression and physiology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis that leads to a dormant drug-tolerant phenotype. In the presence of iron, vitamin C shows a high bactericidal activity even in the drug resistant phenotype of M. tuberculosis.
