针对代谢弱点:缬氨霉素增强生物能量抑制剂对抗耐药与休眠结核分枝杆菌的效力

Tuberculosis (TB) treatment is hampered by monotherapy limitations and phenotypic drug tolerance, citing the need for effective drug combinations. The mycobacterial electron transport chain (ETC), crucial for oxidative phosphorylation and ATP production in dormant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), is a key target. This study investigates combining established bioenergetic inhibitors- bedaquiline (BDQ), telacebec (Q203), and clofazimine (CFZ) with the potassium ionophore valinomycin, which disrup
