Acquiring of photosensitivity by Mycobacterium tuberculosis in vitro and inside infected macrophages due to accumulation of endogenous Zn-porphyrins
2023-10-03
Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( Mtb ) is able to transition into a dormant state, causing the latent state of tuberculosis. Dormant mycobacteria acquire resistance to all known antibacterial drugs and can survive in the human body for decades before becoming active.
