Murine models of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection are essential tools in drug discovery. Here we describe a fast standardized 9-day acute assay intended to measure the efficacy of drugs against M. tuberculosis growing in the lungs of immunocompetent mice. This assay is highly reproducible, allows good throughput, and was validated for drug lead optimization using isoniazid, rifampin, ethambutol, pyrazinamide, linezolid, and moxifloxacin.
鼠类结核分枝杆菌感染模型是药物发现的重要工具。在这里,我们描述了一种快速标准化的 9 天急性测定法,旨在测量药物对免疫功能正常的小鼠肺部生长的结核分枝杆菌的疗效。该测定法具有高度可重复性,允许高通量,并已使用异烟肼、利福平、乙胺丁醇、吡嗪酰胺、利奈唑胺和莫西沙星进行了药物先导优化的验证。
