Urease Activity Represents an Alternative Pathway for Mycobacterium tuberculosis Nitrogen Metabolism

Urease represents a critical virulence factor for some bacterial species through its alkalizing effect, which helps neutralize the acidic microenvironment of the pathogen. In addition, urease serves as a nitrogen source provider for bacterial growth. Pathogenic mycobacteria express a functional urea...
