Mycobacterium tuberculosis precursor rRNA as a measure of treatment-shortening activity of drugs and regimens

It is unclear why different antibiotics vary in their ability to shorten treatment of tuberculosis. Here, the authors show that a measure based on ribosomal RNA synthesis in Mycobacterium tuberculosis correlates with treatment shortening in culture, in mice and in human studies.
