Indian Institute of Science claims to have developed two molecules to inhibit the stress response of Mycobacterium tuberculosis , which is dependent on forming biofilms, which protect it from antibiotics and second guanosine pentaphosphate pathway, which is the main stress response of M.tuberculosis . Do you think we will be able to knock out such a bacilli which use the mesenchymal barrier to remain dormant for years and strike back when our immune system low and ban BCG vaccine which doesn't offer any help in acquiring infection saving it for bladder cancer in situ?
