Competing Interests
The authors have read the journal's policy and have the following conflict: Johns Hopkins University has filed a provisional patent application, (filing # 61/524,106), entitled ‘Auto-luminescent Mycobacterial Reporter Strains’, listing TZ and EN as inventors. This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLoS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
