The mycobacterial ATP burst is a lysis artifact and serves as an assay for drug-induced cell wall damage

Claire V. Mulholland, Bei Shi Lee, Alexander Chong, Jinhua Cui, Kévin Pethe, Michael Berney

This study shows the mycobacterial ATP burst is an experimental artifact caused by cell lysis, not a biological response, and presents it as a tool for screening cell wall-disrupting drugs.
