Drug-induced differential culturability in diverse strains of <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>
2024-08-05
Abstract excerpt
Differential culturable bacteria grow in liquid culture medium but are unable to form colonies on solid medium. Differentially culturable Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) bacteria, have been found in tuberculosis (TB) patient sputa. We hypothesized that antibiotic treatment can induce differential culturability in Mtb. We investigated the effect of exposure to TB drugs on Mtb culturability using clinical samples...
