Letting Sleeping dos Lie: Does Dormancy Play a Role in Tuberculosis?

Chao, Michael C., Rubin, Eric J.·2010·Annual Review of Microbiology

Abstract

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which causes tuberculosis, remains a major human public health threat. This is largely due to a sizeable reservoir of latently infected individuals, who may relapse into active disease decades after first acquiring the infection. Furthermore, patients have a very slow response to treatment of active disease. Latency and antibiotic tolerance are commonly taken as a proxy for dormancy, a stable nonreplicative state. However, latency is a clinical term that is solely defined by a lack of disease indicators. The actual state of the bacterium in human latency is not well understood. Here we evaluate the results of several in vitro models of dormancy and consider the applicability of various animal models for studying aspects of human latency and resistance to killing by antibiotics. Furthermore, we propose a model for the initiation of dormancy and resuscitation during infection.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
