In Vitro Activities of Mitomycin C against Growing and Hypoxic Dormant Tubercle Bacilli

Persistence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection despite prolonged chemotherapy is a major problem in tuberculosis control ([3][1]). Hypoxic dormant bacilli are, in contrast to oxic replicating organisms, not effectively killed by conventional antimycobacterials and could be one of the factors
