No Evidence for Acquired Mutations Associated with Cytochrome <i>bc</i><sub>1</sub> Inhibitor Resistance in 13,559 Clinical Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex Isolates.
Project description:This study uses microarray analyses to examine baseline gene expression profiles for Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex clinical isolates relative to reference strain CDC1551 during log phase growth in vitro in 7H9 broth. For this in vitro analyses, log-phase mycobacteria in starter cultures grown to mid-log from frozen stocks were inoculated into 7H9-OADC medium in 25-cm2 vented flasks at an OD of ~0.05 and grown without shaking for ~1 week to an OD of ~0.5-0.6.
