Screening of Fungi for Antimycobacterial Activity Using a Medium-Throughput Bioluminescence-Based Assay

Screening of Fungi for Antimycobacterial Activity Using a Medium-Throughput Bioluminescence-Based Assay

There is a real and urgent need for new antibiotics able to kill Mycobacteria, acid-fast bacilli capable of causing multiple deadly diseases. These include members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, which causes the lung disease tuberculosis (TB) as well as non-tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM)...
