Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of drug molecules, and in particular relates to the application of a Mycobacterium tuberculosis gene Rv0233 in screening targets of anti-tuberculosis inhibitors. Background technique
[0002] Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a pathogen that seriously endangers human health. According to the statistics of the World Health Organization, about three million people die of tuberculosis every year in the world, and about one-third of the world's population is infected with latent tuberculosis. Mycobacteria (WHO, 2009). Currently, TB chemotherapy consists of a mixture of first-line and second-line drugs.
