The potassium transporter KdpA affects persister formation by regulating ATP levels in Mycobacterium marinum

Mycobacterial persistence mechanisms remain to be fully characterized. Screening a transposon insertion library of Mycobacterium marinum identified kdpA, whose inactivation reduced the fraction of persisters after exposure to rifampicin. kdpA encodes a transmembrane protein that is part of the Kdp-A...
