Biomarker for Human Treatment Responses Based on Mycobacterial Pre-Ribosomal RNA 16S/23S Ratio

Researchers have discovered that the ratio of precursor-rRNA (pre-rRNA) to total 23S rRNA (pre-rRNA/23S) can be used as an accurate, early biomarker for TB treatment response. Treatment failure and relapse are often caused by sub-populations of “persister” bacteria that survive early bactericidal killing. Persisters are targeted in the “sterilizing”...
