The proteomic composition of M. tuberculosis Beijing and H37Rv were compared.
Both M. tuberculosis Beijing and H37Rv induce dormancy proteins as a shared response upon exposure to rifampicin.
The abundance of PhoPR regulon proteins is conserved in clinical strains of M. tuberculosis.
The dormancy regulators Rv3132c/devS and Rv3133c/devR are more abundant in M. tuberculosis Beijing.
