Using diphenyleneiodonium to induce a viable but non-culturable phenotype in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and its metabolomics analysis.

Depletion of oxygen levels is a well-accepted model for induction of non-replicating, persistent states in mycobacteria. Increasing the stress levels in mycobacterium bacilli facilitates their entry into a non-cultivable, dormant state. In this study, it was shown that diphenyleneiodonium, an inhibi...
