The anti-mycobacterial activity of the cytochrome bcc inhibitor Q203 can be enhanced by small-molecule inhibition of cytochrome bd

Abstract Mycobacterial energy metabolism currently attracts strong attention as new target space for development of anti-tuberculosis drugs.The imidazopyridine Q203 targets the cytochrome bcc complex of the respiratory chain, a key component in energy metabolism.Q203 blocks growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis at nanomolar concentrations, however,
