Abstract excerpt

Much is known regarding the antibiotic susceptibility of planktonic cultures of Mycobacterium tuberculosis , the bacterium responsible for the lung disease tuberculosis (TB). As planktonically-grown M. tuberculosis are unlikely to be entirely representative of the bacterium during infection, we set out to determine how effective a range of anti-mycobacterial treatments were against M. tuberculosis growing as a...
