quantitative RT-PCR verification of select genes.

aFold change indicates the ratio of the normalized number of transcripts for the select gene during M. tb infection of A549 cells to the normalized number of transcripts of the same gene during mid-log growth of M. tb in 7H9 media with standard deviation in parentheses.
*P-value indicates the statistical comparison of fold change of the select gene to fold change of the negative control (23S RNA) by unpaired two-tail t test. P-values ≤ 0.5 are statistically significant and are highlighted in bold.
