Growth and division mechanisms by which genetic resisters emerge from the rifampicin-surviving population of differentially antibiotic-susceptible mycobacterial subpopulations

Background: We recently reported the de novo emergence of unusually high numbers of antibiotic resisters from the in vitro cultures of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium smegmatis surviving in the presence of minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of antituberculosis antibiotics. The res...
