MptpB Inhibitor Improves the Action of Antibiotics against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Nontuberculous Mycobacterium avium Infections

ACS Infectious Diseases, 2023
Treatment of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium infections requires multiple drugs for long time periods. Mycobacterium protein-tyrosine-phosphatase B (MptpB) is a key M. tuberculosis virulence factor that subverts host antimicrobial activity to promote intracellular survival. Inhibition of MptpB reduces the infection burden in vivo and
