Mycobacterial excretory secretory-31 protein with serine protease and lipase activities: An immunogen and drug target against tuberculosis infection

Conclusion Inhibition of ES-31 leads to the growth inhibition of MTB bacilli, suggesting that ES-31 is important for entry and multiplication of bacilli and an important drug target for exploring new drugs for TB based on protease and lipase activities of ES-31 protein.
