Gradual loss of metabolic activity during dormancy (d0–d35). Example of a histogram of fluorescin-positive mycobacteria at d35 of dormancy after incubation at 37 °C with FDA for 20 min (A). Per cent of fluorescein-positive cells (B) and geometric mean (GM) fluorescence intensity (C) of mycobacterial strains within gate GM were measured at indicated time points. One representative experiment (triplicates) out of two is shown.
