The Differential Gene Expression Pattern of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Response to Capreomycin and PA-824 versus First-Line TB Drugs Reveals Stress- and PE/PPE-Related Drug Targets

Table 3

Functional classes of genes strongly induced by capreomycin and PA-824 relative to other TB drugs. 𝐏 = the chance probability of the number of the genes identified from a given functional category among all genes. Functional classes are based on TubercuList (http://genolist.pasteur.fr/TubercuList/).
