Methods are provided for the use of gallium complexes of 3-hydroxy-4-pyrones in the treatment or prevention of infections caused by a prokaryote of the genus Mycobacterium, including but not limited to those infections due to
M. tuberculosis
and
M leprae
. Methods are also provided for the treatment of immunocompromised patients infected by these and other mycobacteria species, including species (such as
M. avium, M. aurum
, and
M. smegmatis
) that are not pathogenic to immunocompetent individuals but may cause disease in immunocompromised patients.
