Background: Pyrazinamide (PZA) plays an essential part in the shortened 6-month tuberculosis (TB) treatment course due to its activity against slow-growing, semi-dormant organisms. We tested the paradigm that PZA preferentially targets slow growing cells of Mycobacterium tuberculosis that remain aft...
ORGANISM(S): Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv 
In Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the efflux pump, EfpA, plays an essential but uncharacterised role in its physiology and antibiotic tolerance. In this study, an ATc-inducible CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) system was introduced into M. tuberculosis to knock-down the expression of efpA and determine an...
ORGANISM(S): Mycobacterium tuberculosis 
We describe an analysis, applicable to any spotted microarray dataset produced using genomic DNA as a reference, which quantifies prokaryotic levels of mRNA on a genome-wide scale. Applying this to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, we validate the technique, show a correlation between level of expression...
ORGANISM(S): Mycobacterium bovis 
A key feature of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is its ability to become dormant in the host. Little is known of the mechanisms by which these bacilli are able to persist in this state. Therefore, the focus of this study was to emulate environmental conditions encountered by M. tuberculosis in the granu...
