Dormancy of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is likely to be a major cause of extended chemotherapeutic regimens and wide prevalence of tuberculosis. The molecular mechanisms underlying M. tuberculosis dormancy are not well understood. In this study, single-copy genes responsible for synthesis (dgc) and degradation (pde) of the ubiquitous bacterial second messenger, cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP), were deleted in the virulent M. tuberculosis strain H37Rv to generate dgc(mut) and Δpde, respectively.
