Objective:To investigate the resuscitative potential of mycobacteriophage Guo1 on dormant cells of M.tuberculosis.Methods:Dormant cells of M.tuberculosis were induced by potassium-deficient culture of logarithmic phase of M.tuberculosis at 37 ℃,which were proven through drug sensitivity test,transmission electron microscope(TEM) and auramine O-Nile red double fluorescent staining. M.tuberculosis colony count was used to detect whether the dormant cells of M.tuberculosis had been resuscitated by Guo1. Results:Dormant cells of M.tuberculosis were obtained successfully by potassium-deficient cultivation for 30 days at 37 ℃. The concentration of M.tuberculosis in control,supernatant(SN),TM4 and Guo1 groups was (2.67±0.58)×102,(3.00±1.00)×102,(2.67±0.58)×102,(2.33±0.58)×102 CFU/mL,respectively,after culture for 1 d. And the concentration of M.tuberculosis in above groups increased to(7.33±1.53)×104,(6.67±2.08)×1010,(3.00±1.00)×1010,(3.33±1.53)×1010 CFU/mL at the 15th day,respectively. Conclusion:Mycobacteriophage Guo1 can resuscitate dormant cells of M.tuberculosis.
