Dormancy is a state of growth cessation that allows bacteria to escape the host defense system and antibiotic challenge. Understanding the mechanisms that control dormancy is of key importance for the treatment of latent infections, such as those from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In mycobacteria, dormancy is controlled by the response regulator DevR, which responds to...
