Antimicrobial Resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis: The Odd One Out.

Trends in microbiology - 1 Aug 2016

Eldholm Vegard, Balloux François

Abstract excerpt

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threats are typically represented by bacteria capable of extensive horizontal gene transfer (HGT). One clear exception is Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). It is an obligate human pathogen with limited genetic diversity and a low mutation rate which lacks any evidence for HGT. Such features should, in principle, reduce its ability to rapidly evolve AMR. We identify key features in...
