Comparison of genes upregulated during transition to the NC state in the stationary phase (at least 1.5-fold) to the genes activated in other models of persistence

Models of M. tuberculosis persistence	Overlapping to 238 genes activated in the stationary phase during transition to the NC state.
	Number of genes	%
Wayne non-replicating state (Voskuil et al., 2004)	23	9,7
Persistence at gradual depletion of carbon source at 50% oxygen tension (Hampshire et al., 2004)	82	34,5
Persistence within macrofages (Schnappinger et al., 2003)	77	32,4
Artificial granuloma in mice (Karakousis et al., 2004)	32	13,4
Enduring hypoxia response (Rustad et al., 2008)	40	16,8
