mechanisms to persist in an immune-competent host under a dormant condition. The
regulation of M. tuberculosis metabolism during latent infection is not clearly known. The
dormancy survival regulon (DosR regulon) is chiefly responsible for encoding dormancy
related functions of M. tuberculosis. We describe functional characterization of an important
gene of DosR regulon, Rv0079, which appears to be involved in the regulation of translation …
