Linezolid Kills Acid-Phase and Nonreplicative-Persister-Phase Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a Hollow-Fiber Infection Model
1 Jun 2018
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT The therapy for treatment of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections is long and arduous. It has been hypothesized that the therapy duration is driven primarily by populations of organisms in different metabolic states that replicate slowly or not at all (acid-phase and nonreplicative-persister [NRP]-phase organisms).
