Biofilm Associated Persistence and Drug Tolerance in Mycobacteria Within Host Microenvironments
APMIS, Volume 134, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Biofilms formed by mycobacteria, particularly Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), represent a major challenge in tuberculosis (TB) treatment due to their highly organized structure and their capacity to induce phenotypic drug tolerance. These three‐dimensional bacterial aggregates are embedded in a self‐produced extracellular matrix that ...
