Understanding molecular mechanisms of Mycobacterium tuberculosis persistence

2019-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Background: Although Mtb strains have been shown to exhibit nucleotide level similarity of >99%, such similarity is rarely replicated in the phenotype. This phenotypic heterogeneity has been demonstrated by a subpopulation of cells called 'persisters'. Persisters constitute a minority of the organisms found in clinical specimens but statistical modelling studies suggest that they predominate after the first few da...
