Deletion of rifampicin-inactivating mono-ADP-ribosyl transferase gene of Mycobacterium smegmatis globally altered gene expression profile that favoured increase in ROS levels and thereby antibiotic resister generation

The physiological role of mono-ADP-ribosyl transferase (Arr) of Mycobacterium smegmatis, which inactivates rifampicin, remains unclear. An earlier study reported increased expression of arr during oxidative stress and DNA damage. This suggested a role for Arr in the oxidative status of the cell and...
