Increasing the stress levels in mycobacterium bacilli facilitates their entry into a non-cultivable, dormant state. In this study, it was shown that diphenyleneiodonium, an inhibitor of NADH oxidase, induced a viable, but non-culturable state in mycobacteria, having similar features to dormant bacilli, like loss of acid-fastness, upregulation of stress-regulated genes and decreased superoxide levels as compared to actively growing bacilli. Comprehensive, untargeted metabolic profiling also confirmed a decrease in biogenesis of amino acids, NAD, unsaturated fatty acids and nucleotides. Additionally, an increase in the level of lactate, fumarate, succinate and pentose phosphate pathways along with increased mycothiol and sulfate metabolites, similar to dormant bacilli, was observed in the granuloma. These non-cultivable bacilli were resuscitated by supplementation of fetal bovine serum, regaining their culturability in liquid as well as on agar medium. This study focused on the effect of diphenyleneiodonium treatment in causing mycobacteria to rapidly transition from an active state into a viable, but non-cultivable state, and comparing their characteristics with dormant phenotypes.</p>
