Extracellular DNA of slow growers of mycobacteria and its contribution to biofilm formation and drug tolerance

Abstract DNA is basically an intracellular molecule that stores genetic information and carries instructions for growth and reproduction in all cellular organisms. However, in some bacteria, DNA has additional roles outside the cells as extracellular DNA (eDNA), which is an essential component of bi...
