Overexpression screening of mycobacteriophage Mercurio reveals inhibitors of mycobacterial growth
By Rae Garber, Amanda Donovan Faculty Mentor: Swati Agrawal Abstract Bacteriophages have emerged as a promising treatment for drug-resistant pathogens such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, but the structure and function of most phage gene products cannot be predicted. We used genome-wide overexpression screenings to identify genes encoded by mycobacteriophage Mercurio whose products inhibit host growth. Out…
