Abstract excerpt
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health threat, largely due to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) resilience, which can be exacerbated by exposure to sublethal antibiotic concentrations arising from factors such as patient nonadherence and the granuloma structure which limits drug penetration. Within host granulomas, Mtb can exhibit both phenotypic tolerance and genotypic resistance, complicating curative...
