Daily Dosing of Rifapentine Cures Tuberculosis in Three Months or Less in the Murine Model

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that replacing rifampin with rifapentine and isoniazid with moxifloxacin dramatically increased the activity of the standard daily regimen, which may permit shortening the current 6 mo duration of treatment to 3 mo or less.
Journal ArticleDOI

Promising Antituberculosis Activity of the Oxazolidinone PNU-100480 Relative to That of Linezolid in a Murine Model

TL;DR: It is suggested that PNU-100480 may have the potential to significantly shorten the duration of therapy for drug-susceptible as well as multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Designer arrays for defined mutant analysis to detect genes essential for survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in mouse lungs.

TL;DR: Thirty-one M. tuberculosis genes were found to be required for in vivo survival in mouse lungs, and most of the genes are conserved in other pathogenic mycobacteria, including M. leprae and M. bovis, suggesting that a core of basic in vitro survival mechanisms may be highly conserved despite the divergent human pathology caused by members of the myc Cobacterial genus.
