Low concentrations of nitric oxide exert a hormetic effect on Mycobacterium tuberculosis in vitro.

William Benjamin Brugmann1, Marcia A Firmani.   

Abstract

Susceptibilities of 12 clinical Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates to acidified sodium nitrite (ASN) were compared. The results demonstrate that 8 of the 12 isolates exhibited enhanced survival levels in 1.5 mM ASN compared to levels in medium alone, suggesting that low concentrations of reactive nitrogen intermediates have a hormetic effect on M. tuberculosis in vitro.
