Turning the respiratory flexibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis against itself

Several inhibitors of the electron transport chain (ETC) are active against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Here, Lamprecht et al. show that a combination of known inhibitors (bedaquiline, Q203 and clofazimine) displays synergistic effects on the M. tuberculosis ETC and improved antibacterial activity i...

Sumario:Several inhibitors of the electron transport chain (ETC) are active against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Here, Lamprecht et al. show that a combination of known inhibitors (bedaquiline, Q203 and clofazimine) displays synergistic effects on the M. tuberculosis ETC and improved antibacterial activity in vitro.
