The role of the novel exopolyphosphatase MT0516 in Mycobacterium tuberculosis drug tolerance and persistence.
Inorganic polyphosphate (poly P) has been postulated to play a regulatory role in the transition to bacterial persistence. In bacteria, poly P balance in the cell is maintained by the hydrolysis activity of the exopolyphosphatase PPX. However, the Mycobacterium tuberculosis PPX has not been characte...
