<i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> H <sub>2</sub> S functions as a sink to modulate central metabolism, bioenergetics, and drug susceptibility
2021-06-02
Abstract excerpt
H 2 S is a potent gasotransmitter in eukaryotes and bacteria. Host-derived H 2 S has been shown to profoundly alter M. tuberculosis ( Mtb ) energy metabolism and growth. However, compelling evidence for endogenous production of H 2 S and its role in Mtb physiology is lacking. We show that multidrug-resistant and drug-susceptible clinical Mtb strains produce H 2 S, whereas H 2 S production in non-pathogeni...
