متن کاملMetabolic Changes in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis during Nutrient Starvation Conditions
Latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis exhibits metabolic pathways different from normal bacilli. Mycobacteria undergo metabolic shift leading to alteration in expression of vital cell proteins like catalase, urease etc., during nutrient starvation conditions. In this study, we determined the activity of catalase and urease in nutrient starved cultures. It was observed that catalase activity decline...
