Genomewide Assessment of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Conditionally Essential Metabolic Pathways

Abstract excerpt

Mycobacterium tuberculosis causes 10 million cases of tuberculosis (TB), resulting in over 1 million deaths each year. TB therapy is challenging because it requires a minimum of 6 months of treatment with multiple drugs. Protracted treatment times and the emergent spread of drug-resistant M. tuberculosis necessitate the identification of novel targets for drug discovery to curb this global health threat....
