A Novel Tool to Identify Bactericidal Compounds against Vulnerable Targets in Drug-Tolerant M. tuberculosis found in Caseum

ABSTRACT Caseous necrosis is a hallmark of tuberculosis (TB) pathology and creates a niche for drug-tolerant persisters within the host.Cavitary TB and high bacterial burden in caseum require longer treatment duration.An in vitro model that recapitulates the major features of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) in caseum would accelerate the identific
