Rapid measurement of antituberculosis drug activity in vitro and in macrophages using bioluminescence

OBJECTIVES: Tuberculosis drug development is hampered by the slow growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Bioluminescence, light produced by an enzymatic reaction, constitutes a rapid and highly sensitive measurement of cell metabolic function that can be used as an indirect marker of cell viability i...
