AbstractDifficulties in antibiotic treatment of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) are partly thought to be due to heterogeneity in growth. Although the ability of bacterial pathogens to regulate growth is crucial to control homeostasis, virulence and drug responses, single-cell growth and cell cycle behaviours of Mtb are poorly characterized.

AbstractCell length has been used as a proxy for cell size in cell cycle modeling studies. A previous study, however, brought into question the validity of this assumption, noting that correlations between cell lengths can be different from those involving cell volume if cell width fluctuations are taken into account. If cell volume is regulated, data analysis involving cell lengths will lead to an incorrect inference of the cell size control mechanism.
