Mutations in Efflux Pump Rv1258c (Tap) Cause Resistance to Pyrazinamide, Isoniazid, and Streptomycin in M. tuberculosis
18 Feb 2019
Abstract excerpt
Although drug resistance in M. tuberculosis is mainly caused by mutations in drug activating enzymes or drug targets, there is increasing interest in possible role of efflux in causing drug resistance. Previously, efflux genes are shown upregulated upon drug exposure or implicated in drug resistance in overexpression studies, but the role of mutations in efflux pumps identified in clinical isolates in causing...
